UHV electron beam evaporator with RHEEDS

 This system is being used for the deposition and structural characterization of nano-scale metal layer on semiconductor. The vacuum is maintained ~10-9 Torr by turbo molecular pump, cold trap and ion pump to obtain a controlled nano-scale metal layer and their RHEED patterns. This is a load-lock system allowing faster throughput and better vacuum quality. The system has a multi-hearth e-gun with 3-pocket crucibles and10 KW power supply, auto pump control, substrate heaters, an ion-gun and multi-layer deposition controller. The thickness of deposited layer is monitored using quartz crystal sensor. RHEED system consists of 15 KV electron gun with tilt mechanism (LED110S, Thermo VG Scientific), power supply and 8-inch fluorescent screen.
