CTS10U Deposition System

CTS10U is a radically enhanced version of the widely popular clam shell design pioneered by ASTeX (our former team) The upgraded design provides highest purity and throughput  suitable both for R&D and commercial production of electronics and gems.

Key Technical Highlights

Exciting New Capabilities

  • Double seals and conflat flanges for world class purity from Nitrogen  contamination.

  • PPB Nitrogen leak purity implemented with differentially pumped O rings and Conflat Flange on all seals (compare with O rings on prior systems)

  • Highest available MW power (12kW available, 15KW in testing) for larger area/higher growth rate processes.

  • 6-600 Torr pressure range

  • Advanced process control and monitoring including internet access to system control functions.

  • Customizable fixturing, viewports for in-situ monitoring.

  • Powerful software includes 24/7 all parameter logging, advanced (trailing) interlocks and web/mobile access to system data and control

  • CVD Diamond

Indispensable Features

  • Bias Enhanced Nucleation (BEN) for heteroepitaxy See - Nature.com

  • 100mm (4") diameter wafer heater providing +-10% uniformity microcrystalline thin diamond films

  • Temperature controlled Translation Stage for large single crystal growth

  • No line of sight between quartz microwave window and plasma to reduce silicon contamination from the window - a common issue due to atomic hydrogen reaction with quartz silicon dioxide.

  • Stable plasma for widest range in pressure, power and substrate geometry

  • Integrated Helium leak testing port 

  • Power upgradeable to 15KW (retrofitted to existing systems)

  • World Class Electronic Performance, 100mm diamond coating diameter

CVD Diamond
