Options and utilities
OPTIONS
- Chuck/custom tray (square, indentations for small parts, powders)
- Custom chamber (thicker substrates)
- ATOzone - Ozone generator (necessary for certain films: Pt, Ir, SiO2, MoO2, high quality Al2O3 below 60°C, high quality HfO2)
- Optional - Safety monitor for ozone with real-time detection of ambient gaseous ozone QCM (Quartz crystal microbalance) Integration of a glove box (generally necessary to avoid exposing the substrate to humidity, sulphides, etc.)
- External control - PC/software link (allows remote programming and operation)
- Ventilated precursor cabinet
- Spare chamber
- IGPA (inert gas pressure assistance) for low vapor pressure precursors
- Higher temperatures on precursors (up to 180°C)
- Third counter-reagent
- Software control of the third counter-reagent
UTILITIES
- N2 purge gas should be >99.9995% with a shut-off valve (regulated to 10 - 30 psi, metal sealed).
- The input line is a female VCR compression fitting
- Connect nitrogen purge gas (UHP) to > 99.9995% via 1/4″ metal line to 1/4″ compression fitting on the rear.
- Connect clean dry air (90-110 psi) via 1/4″ polyethylene tubing or metal tubing to the other 1/4″ compression fitting marked CDA (Clean Dry Air).
- Min 12cfm lubricated pump (**PTFE vacuum fluid (like Fomblin) required) (610 and 810 use larger pumps typically 19.5 cfm or more)
- NW25 (KF25) connection (1″) and also exhaust line (with flow rate > 5cfm)
- Beyond one meter, use an NW40 (1.5″) exhaust pipe.
- The precursors are fixed using female VCR elbows (always use new joints). Elbow: 1/4″ joint first (with gloves)
