SH-O

Oxygen Resistant Substrate Manipulator / Heated Station

 

SH-O 150-2PT25-S
SH-O 150-2PT25-S, substrate manipulator on DN150 CF (O.D. 8") mounting flange; for a 2 inch wafer, with noble-metal-alloy heater and 25 mm linear travel for substrate transfer; with integrated main shutter

  • Oxygen resistance option of the SH substrate manipulator

  • Substrate temperatures up to 700°C with Ni-alloy heater; up to 900°C with noble-metal-alloy heater
    up to 900°C with SiC heater depending on oxygen partial pressure

  • Pressure range from UHV up few mbar oxygen

  • Water cooled ceramic bearings for continuous rotation

  • Substrate sizes up to 6 inch

 

MBE-Komponenten GmbH offers ovens, deposition stations or heated stations which are resistant to oxygen or other reactive gas atmosphere. The oxygen resistant option is indicated by the affix "-O".
Selected shielding and construction materials are used for high temperature applications in oxygen rich environments. Maximum substrate temperatures of 700°C are possible using Ni-alloy heaters. Noble-metal-alloy heaters and SiC heaters work for even higher substrate temperatures of up to 900°C or in some cases even 1000°C depending on the oxygen partial pressures during operation.

Due to the wide range of different applications and processes in oxygen rich environments a general recommendation of heater and construction materials is difficult. Please contact our specialists for more detailed recommendations to your specific application.

The specifications and options for the SH-O substrate manipulators are almost the same as for our SH models. They are:

  • sample size up to 6"
  • continuous substrate rotation
  • water cooled ceramic bearings
  • linear travel for substrate transfer
  • thermocouple: Type K Chromel/Alumel (types R or S on request)
  • integrated main shutter
  • mask retainer

Application

SH-O substrate manipulators are used in oxygen rich environments (up to several mbar) or reactive gas atmosphere.

Attention:
Special care must be taken when compounds are operated at high temperature and high pressure. In case of pressures above 10-4 mbar the thermal conductivity of gases has significant effects to heat transfer from heater to sample. It is strongly recommended to contact our specialists when planning your application.
