Description
Tool overview
The Denton Explorer-14 is a magnetron sputter deposition tool for depositing metallic and dielectric films (such as oxides). Sputter deposition is achieved by bombarding a source material with energetic ions, typically Ar+. Atoms at the surface of the target are knocked loose, and transported to the surface of the substrate, where deposition occurs. The tool is an open load system in sputter-down configuration with one dedicated DC source and two sources that can use either a DC or RF power supply. Co-deposition from two DC sources or one DC and one RF source is possible, but it is recommended to run co-deposition on PVD-03 as the sources in this tool are not in confocal mode per default. The tool is equipped with a cryo-pump, with an automated interface, accepting substrate sizes from pieces through wafers with 150 mm diameters. The tool has platen rotation and cooling.
Maximum power
- Maximum DC Power: 600 W.
- Maximum RF Power: 200 W.
You can inflict serious damage to the power supplies if these values are exceeded.
Available materials & process data
All process data were recorded at a base pressure lower than 5 x 10-6 Torr; you can never exceed 200 W on RF and 600 W on DC.
