HIGH VACUUM DESK SPUTTER COATER – DST1-170

High Vacuum Sputter Coater – DST1-170 is configured as a Desk Sputter Coater suitable for Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) sample preparation. A wide range of materials could be deposited by DST1-170 such as gold (Au), platinum/palladium (Pt/Pd) alloy, silver (Ag), chromium (Cr), tungsten (W), iridium (Ir), and etc.

The DST1-170 offers high quality uniform films with fine grain sizes which are suitable for specimens that require high resolution and high quality characterization such as FE-SEM, EDS/WDS, TEM, and EBSD. The DST1-170 with a 2” magnetron cathode, 80 W switching DC power supply, could be used for research and different thin film applications.

Clean Vacuum of Desk Sputter Coater
The vacuum chamber is Cylindrical Pyrex. The DST1-170 is fitted with an internally mounted 90 L/s turbomolecular pump, backed by a 4m3/h two stage rotary vane pump. It introduces clean vacuum without oil contamination which normally exists with ordinary diffusion pump.

Touch Screen Control
The DST1-170 is equipped with a 7” colored touch screen and full automatic control and data input that can be operated by even inexperienced users. The vacuum, current and deposition information can be observed as digital data or curves on the touch screen. Information of the last 300 coating can also be saved in the history page.
