Product Overview

 

This Electron Beam Evaporation Thin Film Equipment is engineered for high-precision physical vapor deposition (PVD). Utilizing a focused high-energy electron beam to bombard source materials, the system achieves high evaporation rates for high-melting-point metals, oxides, and dielectric materials.


Built on a modular vacuum architecture, the system accommodates multi-pocket electron guns, customizable substrate fixtures, and advanced in-situ monitoring. It serves R&D laboratories and high-throughput production lines requiring strict control over film stoichiometry, adhesion, and optical performance.

FAQ

 

 

Q: What is the typical lead time for a standard system configuration?

A: Standard configurations ship within 16 to 20 weeks from drawing approval. Highly customized systems requiring special load-lock configurations or non-standard chamber geometry range from 24 to 30 weeks.

Q: How do you prevent material cross-contamination between different evaporants?

A: The system utilizes individual water-cooled hearth pockets separated by thermal and physical barriers, coupled with optimized electron beam sweeping patterns that eliminate material spattering.

Q: What are the facility utility requirements for a 10 kW system?

A: Requirements typically include 3-phase 380V/480V AC power, closed-loop chilled water supply (10–15°C, flow rate >30 L/min), and dry compressed air (0.6–0.8 MPa) for pneumatic valves.
