The 108C Auto Carbon Coater uses a novel evaporation supply. Current and voltage are monitored by sensor wires in the head, and the evaporation source is controlled as part of a feedback loop. The supply gives the conventional rod feed source excellent stability and reproducibility. Power consumption is low, and the source shows exceptional re-starting characteristics. The evaporation source can be operated in "pulse" or "continuous" modes.
The 108C Auto Carbon Coater offers the choice of either manual or automatic operation. In automatic mode, the evaporation source operates as a programmed voltage for a programmed time. The programmer is simply adjusted and displays voltage and time digitally. In manual mode, the unique 108C Auto Carbon Coater supply can be operated in "pulse" or "continuous" with the output voltage set using the rotary control.
The 108C Auto Carbon Coater can be fitted with an optional MTM-10 Thickness Monitor. Resolution is better than 0.1nm for carbon. Careful use of the monitor and evaporation controller gives better reproducibility of coating thickness in the useful 15nm to 25nm range.
The 108C has a 120mm outer diameter chamber. For a larger chamber system, the 108C Auto/SE is also available. This system has a larger 150mm outer diameter chamber and has the option of adding the Rotary-Planetary-Tilting or Rotary-Tilting Stages. There are no rotary stage options available for the for the 108C.
Ted Pella, Inc has been an authorized distributor, including exclusive in the Americas, for the complete range of Cressington vacuum coating systems for over 25 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.
