SYSTEM FRAME & FOOTPRINT
- 30 (762mm) Deep x 54 (1371.6mm) Wide x 75.81 (1925.6mm) Tall heavy duty powder coated steel frame and panels with casters/wheels (Note: If additional mounting capacity is required for electronics, a separate 19 (482.6mm) rack mount cabinet is provided)
SAFETY
- Water flow switches protect the targets and substrate table in the event of inadequate water flow. A vacuum switch prevents the application of sputtering power with the chamber at atmosphere. Panel interlock switches prevent the presence of dangerous voltages and operation of the sputtering system when equipment covers are removed for system maintenance.
UTILITY REQUIREMENTS
- Water — 40 to 60 psi, 5 gpm Flow Rate
- Sputter Gas — Argon, Ultra High Purity Grade
- Purge Gas — Nitrogen process quality
- Compressed Air — >80 psi for valve operation (MAT-VAC System is configured with an internal air pressure regulator. Note: Customer must provide air dryer/filter to ensure clean dry air)
- Electrical — 208 Vac, 50/60 Hertz, Three (3) Phase, Y (Other AC Voltages can be accommodated through the use of an external AC step-down transformer)
- Amperage — 40 to 100 Amps. Service depending on system configuration
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES AVAILABLE
- Load Lock — The optional manual load lock is designed specifically for transfer of substrate to/from the sputtering chamber while keeping the targets and sputtering chamber at high vacuum, greatly minimizing oxidation, contamination and increased throughput. Load Lock is Rough Vacuum Pumped by the Mechanical Pump.
