Dear Carlos, please have a look at this document : http://www.vonardenne.biz/pdf/vortraege/05VC_Milde-Vortrag-2A_L2.pdf VonArdenne done a lot of good (well...
Dear All, I have an Arc cathode system from Hauzer. We have made CrN and CrON (Oxygen in the solid solution, higher hardness and lower Modulus of elasticity...
Gary, typically people use a mixture of a fluorine containing gas with argon. One of the interesting problems is oxygen. Oxygen competes with fluorine and so...
Dear Kailash, I have had experience sputtering Zinc Sulfide a long time ago. We kept the chamber warm and we used a cryo to lower the base pressure. We ...
Quick question for some consulting work. Who makes silicon carbide sputtering targets. I assume it is not a large business, but I need some background...
Dear Cesar, I have worked with YSZ thick films for application as thermal barrier coatings. I also wanted to determine the thermal conductivity of my films, by...
I am interested in learning about the SRH series sputtering systems. If anyone has any information they can share with me or links to sites that would provide...
Hello: We are planning to do some sputtering of sulfides for our application but have been warned of the problems associated with S-coating the chamber walls. ...
I would like to post the following notice of possible benefit to the members of the group: Second Notice: Course in the "Practical Design and Production of...
ear collegues, I write to you, expecting for your help. I´m working with YSZ films (8%YSZ molar), but I have a dude about the FTIR spectra that I´ve...
Dear collegues, I write to you, expecting for your help. I´m working with YSZ films (8YSZ), but I need to find the thermal conductivity of the films grown...
Dear Sir: It would help us all to know, which valves you are seeking? Sizes (ASA, ISO, KF) , type (Gate, Angle, Butterfly) , etc (Pneumatic, Electric). Best...
Hello to all, We have a turbomolecular pump. Theoretically the chamber should reach pressures below 10 -7 mbar. Instead, our chamber just reach pressures below...
Dear All, We are looking for a manufacturer of vacuum valves. But these valves must be identically in construction to those of the company Leybold concerning...
Dear Colleagues, I would like to call your attention to the 48th IUVSTA Workshop to be organized in Budapest during August 26-31, 2006, on "Influence of trace ...
Carlos, what some will be trying to do is keep the magnetron surface from oxidizing by feeding the inert gas in across the cathode surface. Also they feed the...
Can I remove an antireflex coating, of a glass surface, by a chemical processes(for example with an acid)? Which other methods are avaliable for research and...
Hi Colleagues, thanks for contributing, We have an IBAD system with a multi pocket E-source. We make AR coatings and reflectors in the telcom spectra. We use...
Dear friends, This is to inform you that the 3rd International Topical Meeting on Nanostructured Materials and Nanotechnology, Nanotech-2006 is scheduled to be...
Dear collegues, I write to you, expecting for your help. I´m working with YSZ films (8YSZ), but I need to find the thermal conductivity of the films grown...
Hi, I've tried Ni-Ag evaporation using e-beam system equipped with diffusion pump on silicon wafers but adhesion is not very good. I assume cryo pump should...
Hi, We're currently redesigning one of our sputtering chambers and have encountered a doubt of which I would appreciate if someone from this forum might...
Dear Gary, The Cr targets can develop cracks during arc processing. The only way to avoid it is to find a supplier making better quality chrome. I would...
Dear Gary, Transparent clear coatings as barrier layer (10...20 nm thick) on plastic films and as abrasion resistant layers (2...6 µm thick) on plastic films...
Dear Gary, Probably the target material is not homogenous in the bulk or the target is sintered from Cr powder. Similar pits are evident in AlTi alloyed...
