P295 – 4″ UHV sputter deposition cluster tool IPHT
Application
UHV sputter deposition cluster tool for thin film and multilayer deposition at 4″ substrates
Year of delivery
2011
Installation site
IPHT, Jena, Germany
Design Features
- HV magnetron sputter deposition cluster tool with confocal sputtering configuration.
- In three sputter chambers up to four 3″ magnetrons with manual in situ tilting can be installed.
- Fully motorized 2 axes sample manipulators with integrated sample clamping stage, pneumatic sample shutter, RF back sputtering option installed and sample temperature stabilization (mild cooling and mild heating).
- Oxydation chamber with dynamic as well as static oxydation pressure regulation.
- Load lock chamber with motorized storage for three samples.
- Automatic sample transfer between all chambers via a radial distribution chamber.
Special Features
- At least two different sample sizes (4″ and 6″ wafer) can be handled (using different kind of sample adapters).
- Ar gas backside cooling installed at all sputter chamber sample stages.
