This low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) system, available from Angstrom Engineering, includes a water-cooled furnace that has the capacity to reach up to 1100ºC in order to meet the high temperature needs of CNT and graphene research. The water-cooled furnace can also be cooled down quickly after reaching the maximum temperature.
The LPCVD system includes a chamber tube that is available in different sizes between ø2in and ø8in allowing processing of single small samples up to batches of 6in wafers.
The LPCVD system is designed to provide accurate process control and flexibility with user-safety features, and helps meet the demands of grapheme, carbon nanotubes and other 2D crystals research market. It incorporates an interlock system to safeguard users from process gases, high voltages and excessive temperatures, and a heartbeat sensor to bring the equipment to a safer state during PC to PLC disconnect.
This fully automated process control system uses a 24in touch screen interface to help users develop, store and perform complex processes up to 50 steps. Data logs that are created for each process can be stored and downloaded through a USB interface for analyzing with user-preferred office software.
