Equipment description:

The Angstrom Engineering thermal evaporator is capable of evaporating a limited number of materials using thermal evaporation. The primary purpose of this system is for depositing thin metal contacts on 2D material devices. The system is installed in a nitrogen glovebox to enable work on air sensitive samples. For a comprehensive list of available processes and disallowed processes, please consult the equipment wiki page.

System features and options:

  • Four thermal evaporation sources (via resistive heating)
  • Pumping by 400 L/s turbopump
  • Substrate size compatibility from small pieces to 100 mm wafers
  • Base pressure of < 1x10-6 Torr
  • Processes Available: Au, Ti, Pd, others by request
