108 Auto/SE Sputter Coater

The 108 range of sputter coaters has been expanded to include a new Special Equipment version of the Automatic Coater Prod. No. 7002. The new 108 Auto/SE is intended for use in applications where the coating thickness must have a very high degree of uniformity. The chamber size has been increased to 150mm diameter to accommodate the Rotary-Planetary-Tilting stage developed for the 208HR High Resolution Coater model.

The table below shows the specification differences between the 108 Auto/SE Sputter Coater, Prod. No. 7008 and the 108 Auto Sputter Coater, Prod. No. 7002:
1. Increased chamber diameter
Chamber size has been increased to permit coating of larger samples. Standard Chamber 150mm dia x 165mm
Prod. No. 7008
108 Auto/SE
150mm dia
Prod. No. 7002
108 Auto
120mm dia
2. Target shutter
Target shutter has been added to condition special targets prior to coating

3. Variable chamber geometry (option)
Adjustable chamber height is used to improve coating uniformity and vary the deposition rate 0.01(-3) - 1.0nm/sec
X -
4. Sample stage movements (option)
Separate rotary, planetary and tilting sample movements to optimize coating distribution and coverage.
X -
5. Superior sputter head design
Stronger magnetic field for improved deposition rate.

Rotary-Planetary-Tilting Stage with adjustable tilt (optional)


Rotary-Tilting Stage
The 108C Auto/SE Sputter Coater can be equipped with the optional R-P-T or R-T stage to accommodate multiple or large samples.

two coaters to one pump
Desktop Dual-Vacset

The 108 Auto/SE Sputter Coater can be combined with the 108 Auto Carbon Coater using one pumping system. This has the advantage of using 2 dedicated units for sputtering and carbon coating without any cross contamination.

Ted Pella, Inc has been an authorized distributor for the complete range of Cressington vacuum coating systems for over 15 years. Cressington Scientific Instruments Ltd, based in Watford, UK develops, designs and manufactures vacuum coating systems for scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) specimen preparation and thin film research applications. Core competencies of Cressington are vacuum technology, DC magnetron sputtering technology, electron beam evaporation technology for EM, cryo technology for EM and thermal evaporation. The Cressington products range comprises 108 series sputter coaters for standard SEM sample coating, the 108 series carbon coaters for standard EDX coating, the 208HR for field emission SEM (FESEM) sample coating, the 208C high vacuum turbo carbon coater for TEM/EBSD/microprobe carbon coating and the 308UHR and 308R-EM for ultra high resolution sample coating. The 308R vacuum coating system for thin film applications is based on a compact versatile advanced pumping station which accommodates sputtering, thermal evaporation and electron beam evaporation all in a 12" light weight stainless steel chamber. Cressington takes pride in building products which have excellent quality, are compact bench-top systems and are easy to use.
