Our robust, popular ion source is designed for the cleaning of surfaces by ion sputtering with beam energies up to 3 keV and typical ion currents up to 30 µA. The gun employs a novel gas injection system which allows sputtering to take place at a typical chamber pressure of 1 x 10-6 Torr.
patented gas injection system avoids expensive differential pumping equipment
noble gas sputtering at low chamber pressures
broad ion beam ensures uniform sputtering
compatible with general sputter cleaning and ISS applications
continuously tunable beam voltage from 200 V to 3 kV
digital control electronics with USB or Ethernet interface
