About
The Sharon is a cryo-pumped thin film evaporator with a Temescal four hearth 270° bent beam evaporation source. The system incorporates a Commonwealth Scientific Corp. ion source for in-situ sample cleaning. Fixturing in the Sharon will accept any size sample up to 3.5-inch diameter. In addition, a rotation fixture is easily installed which permits adjustable angle, 360° variable speed rotation of any size sample, up to 1.5-inch diameter. This feature is particularly useful for promoting step coverage of irregular surfaces.
The Sharon is used for the evaporation of high purity metals, e.a. Al, Au, Ni, Ge, AuGe, Ti, Pt etc., for interconnect and ohmic contact metalization for fabrication of III-V compound semiconductor and silicon device fabrication.
Processes
This section will outline the basic processes that run on the tool.
Process #1
Nam in odio quis turpis interdum dignissim ac sed dui. Nunc in lorem purus, et scelerisque velit. Maecenas at eros mauris. Donec adipiscing tristique fringilla. Nullam eu quam id ipsum luctus bibendum. Morbi ac luctus justo. Integer vitae ante ac lacus consectetur iaculis. Aliquam adipiscing faucibus fringilla. Duis bibendum scelerisque nulla vel vulputate. Fusce varius molestie pharetra. Cras suscipit sodales velit, id tempor erat fringilla eget. Pellentesque sollicitudin interdum dolor et condimentum. Donec malesuada accumsan eros ut semper. Fusce sollicitudin, sapien id ullamcorper euismod, eros augue tincidunt risus, sed venenatis turpis lacus ut elit. Sed eu sollicitudin mi. Mauris eget est eu ligula vulputate congue non et leo.
Process #2
