IBS/TM200
(VCR Group Inc.) Ion-beam Sputter-coating
Device. The IBS/TM200
Ion beam sputter-coating device is equipped with a
200l/s
turbo-molecular pump, 2 ion-beam guns, a quartz crystal thickness
monitor, a four-position target carrier, and a liquid nitrogen
cold trap.
This system is used for Ion beam sputter coating a thin
layer of Pt, W, or
Cr on conventionally-prepared samples
(critically point dried) at room
temperature for field emission
SEM (FESEM).
