Search Search. Sputter Coating - Sputter Deposition Sputter coating is a physical vapor deposition process used to apply a very thin, functional coating on a substrate.
Similarly, lower scattering allows for high purity, amorphous carbon films of high density. The QV Plus offers all the benefits of the QT Plus, but with a finer grain size and thinner coating, for ultra-high-resolution applications above x , magnification. The QT Plus is optimised for use with a turbomolecular pump, which gives a lower vacuum down to 5 x mbar. The Q GB comes as standard with sputtering and carbon rod evaporation inserts and a rotating specimen stage.
Options include a metal evaporation, glow discharge, film thickness measurement and special stages to suit a range of specimen types. It is fitted with three sputtering heads to ensure even deposition of individual large specimens or multiple specimens. Suitable for multi-layer sequential sputtering of two materials, the QT D Plus has two independent sputtering heads, which allows sequential sputtering of two metals without the need to break vacuum.
Unlimited layers of varying thickness from two target materials can be sputtered sequentially by cycling between both targets. When not in use the targets are shuttered for protection from contamination. Your email address will not be published. Challenging samples for SEM Scanning electron microscopes SEMs are versatile tools that can provide nanoscale-level information about a wide range of samples with little or no sample preparation.
When sputter coating is needed Due to their high conductivity, coating materials can increase the signal-to-noise ratio during SEM imaging and therefore produce better quality images. Beam-sensitive samples : Beam-sensitive samples are mainly biological samples, but they can also be other types, such as materials made from plastics. The electron beam in an SEM is highly energetic and during its interaction with the sample, it carries part of its energy to the sample mainly in the form of heat.
Non-conductive materials : Due to their non-conductive nature, the surface of non-conductive materials acts as an electron trap. When sputter coating is used, the conductive coating material acts as a channel that allows the charging electrons to be removed from the material.
