Product Description
Ideal for SEM applications
EMS150R is available in three formats: sputtering, carbon evaporation or both. Depending upon the selected configuration, the EMS150R can be a top-of-the-range sputter coater for scanning electron microscopy (SEM), a carbon coater suitable for SEM (eg EDS and WDS), or both, in a single easy to use system.
Molded case with color touch-screen
The EMS150R is presented in a custom molded, one-piece case. The color touch screen allows multiple users to input and store coating protocols. The case houses all the working components. Automatic bleed control ensures optimum vacuum conditions during sputtering.
The vacuum chamber has an external diameter of 165mm (6.5”) and comes with an integral implosion guard. A variable speed rotary specimen stage is fitted as standard, with other stages available as options.
Sputter coating, carbon coating or both
The EMS150R is available in three formats, each with a range of optional accessories:
- EMS150R S – a compact rotary pumped sputter coater, suitable for non-oxidising (noble) metals. A wide selection of sputtering targets is available, which are highly recommended for SEM applications.
- EMS150R E – a compact rotary pumped carbon fibre coater suitable for SEM applications (eg EDS and WDS). The system uses carbon fibre / cord as standard.
- EMS150R ES – a combined system with both sputtering and carbon fibre coating. The deposition inserts can be swapped in seconds and the intelligent system logic automatically recognizes which insert is in place and displays the appropriate operating settings.
Each of the above can be fitted with a range of optional accessories (eg glow discharge, carbon rod coating, film thickness monitor). See options for details.
Rapid data entry
At the operational heart of EMS150R is a simple color touch screen, which allows even the most inexperienced or occasional operators to rapidly enter and store their own process data. To further aid ease of use a number of typical sputtering and evaporation profiles are already stored.
Maintenance
The intuitive touch screen interface features maintenance prompts which highlight:
- Time of last clean
- Coating time since last cleaned
- System „on time‟
- Time of last service

EMS 675X High Resolution, Large Sample Sputter Coater
A complete 8 inch (200mm) wafers can be coated in The EMS675X Sputtering Coater System. The base system with twin gear rotating sample stage gives a progressive elliptical rotation for even sputtering deposition.
The EMS675X Coating System employs a magnetron target assembly which enhances the efficiency of the Sputtering process using low voltages, giving a thin and fine grain coating.
There are three such target assemblies in the EMS675X, positioned to give coating over a large diameter which, together with a rotating sample table, ensures even depositions. This method allows standard targets to be utilized, and avoids the necessity of special large profile targets.
The multi-target system is particularly useful in the semi-conductor wafer industry. It has a turbo molecular pump backed by a Rotary Vacuum Pump.
The integrated instrument panel and plug-in electronics maximize “up-time” and, with user-friendly designs, ensures satisfactory multi-user discipline.
The sputtering parameters can be pre-set, including the gas bleed needle valve, which has electromagnetic valve back-up.
The independent Vacuum Pump is controlled by the Instrument throughout the fully automatic coating cycle. It can be used to Sputter Coat targets such as Gold, and also targets that may need pre-cleaning, or the removal of oxide layers, such as Chromium.
A shutter assembly is fitted as standard, which allows a Sputter Cleaning and the Sputter Cycle to be carried out while maintaining the vacuum.
