Leading Provider of Fiber‑Optic Networking Chooses DCA’s MBE Cluster Tool with Automated Transfer System

/in , /by

A leading provider of fiber‑optic Networking places an order for a P800 MBE Cluster Tool with automated transfer system. The system will be optimised for III-V MBE growth and includes DCA’s patented phosphorus valved cracker source with phosphorus recovery system. Additionally the Cluster Tool features a hydrogen/regrowth chamber and storage chamber.

The automated transfer system is ideally suited for  production – sophisticated software provides preprogrammed sequences for each stage of the production cycle: loading, cleaning, deposition/processing, mask exchange, unloading/storage. Using these sequences, recipes can be tailored to automatically generate high-quality sample batches.

Optimised system efficiency is guaranteed with multitasking software, i.e. recipes & commands that require unrelated resources can be performed simultaneously or as soon as they become available.

/in , /by

DCA Instruments will supply an R450 MBE system to Tsinghua University in September 2018. The system is specially designed to deposit materials under a partial-pressure and ensure reliable and high-quality results. The R450 chamber features both effusion cells and electron beam source for co-deposition of materials.

Multi-MBE (P600 & M600) system installed at ShanghaiTech University

/in , /by

ShanghaiTech’s first MBE system was installed by DCA Instruments this Autumn. This UHV system opens the gateway for researchers to perform high-quality material growth and develop complex structures.

Three growth chambers are connected to the linear buffer line; two P600 chambers, one dedicated to III-V and the other to II-VI compounds, and an M600 chamber, that allows co-deposition from effusion cells and two e-beam sources.

A mask/carrier exchange system prevents cross-contamination between the chambers and ensures the highest quality growth possible.
