Hi all, thanks for the reply... i am out for a week so only now can I feedback you all.... well.FYI, our system is not grounded to ground....it was connected...
Does anyone have any experience with growing a superconducting layer of tantalum in a MBE? So far we tried to grow one on Al2O3 at room temperature, with a...
Does anyone have any experience with growing superconducting Ta layers? We tried to grow 500 nm of Ta on Al203 at room temperature with a growth rate of 0.4...
Hi all, thanks for all your comments the other day. Currently, i am also trying to investigate the cause of blinking and switch on/off of the plasma in my...
Greetings! Could anybody point to any issues (if any) or difficulties related to the PVD of Al-Sm? I got a system equipped with two e-guns and plan to do...
Dear All, I am busy with arc deposition system for hard coatings and I am trying to find pyrometer for monitoring substrate temperature during the coating...
Samson, Check for obvious shorting points (between cathode and anode) in the SiO2 gun. Make sure all the power cables are in good condition. Check for ...
Dear Samson I am not a sputtering Pro..but from the symptoms you described, it appears to me like sharp increase in the reflected power in a short time (due to...

Dear Ville, Look at the Ircon Modline 3 units (or more current versions if updated.) The work in this range, have a long focal length, and a small spot size. ...
If you can protect the sensor from coating then an IR t/c should work just fine. For example if your substrate is thin and you can position the sensor behind...
Dear Ville, Any commercially available pyrometer with appropriate temperature range and optical parameters related to your HV system you can use. Best regards ...
bas.opperdoes: Tantalum is very oxidizable, and the layer you have deposited is very thin. First, I would suggest that you go for a thicker film. Second,...
Dear all: Could anyone can provide the information of deposition of thick Si(amorphous or crystalline, 10-15 um) on Al alloy substrates? Does sputtering or...
Hi all, I have to deposit about 3 mcm thick Gd2O3 layer on Si wafer coated with 10 mcm polyimide. I plan to buy ready 2" Gd2O3 target for RF sputter we have. I...
Does anyone know of any vendors that offer UV lamp systems that are compatible with vacuum systems, with appropriate feedthroughs, and of the right wavelength...
Hi. I was wondering if anyone knows of a good masking material that can be brushed or painted on the sides of parts prior to PVD coating, to prevent overspray....
Typically in the aluminium metallizing industry they use either a carbon based aqueous paint or a paint based on the same ceramic as the resistance heated...
