Cluster Tool for Prototype Production
(PECVD and Sputtering)
 
Fabrication of state of the art amorphous silicon, nano- (or micro-) crystalline silicon, ITO, ZnO and metals.

Substrate size: 30cm x 40cm or larger.

Process modules:
o PECVD. Allows RF, VHF and pulsed plasma with modulation.
o Sputtering (ITO, ZnO, metals)- oscillation during deposition. Uses rectangular cathodes.
o Park Station with heat capability.
o ITZ houses the robotic arm which works on a "pick and place" principle.
o Load Lock with an elevator and cassette housing multiple substrates with carriers.

Independently controlled process modules. Allows simultaneous depositions in all chambers.

Computer controlled with optional data logging.

Co-joining of cluster tools allows expansion and higher throughput.
