Flextura Evaporator
The Flextura Evaporator covers a range of evaporation process and combinations here of including e-beam, resistive evaporation as well as ion beam assisted deposition (IBAD). Though not well known as a process in connection with a cluster tool, the Flextura evaporation modules can be connected to the Flextura Cluster platform for single substrate processing of advanced processes like high temperature epitaxial growth (still mainly R&D), or production of GLAD films – directly from cassette.
The Evaporator modules are perfect for very high uniformity depositions in SAW/BAW devices, metallisation processes in semiconductor, LED and MEMS production as well as deposition of metals and dielectrics in optoelectronics. Extended throw option for high volume lift-off processes.
