The tool is coupled into the glovebox to eliminate exposure to the atmosphere and enables pumpdown to &lt;1\u00d710^-7 Torr base pressure in &lt;20 minutes. Six sources includes four thermal sources for metals and two temperature-controlled RADAK sources for small molecule deposition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1- Types of materials which can be evaporated using PVD (those are just a few&nbsp;examples):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Metals (with low or high melting points) e.g. Au, Al, In, Ag, Cr and Ti. Resistive sources\/boats are used to evaporate metals. One of the sources has the capability to get to as high temperature as ~ 2000 C and has a chilled water cooling kit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Oxides, e.g. MnO3, silica, silica networks, CaSiO3<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Organic materials (small molecules and fullerenes), e.g. ZnPc, CuPc, F16CuPc, C60, and C70. Radak sources are used to evaporate organic materials<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>2- The substrate holder is 6&#8243; x 6&#8243; and can accommodate for different shapes and sizes of substrates, e.g. patterned Si, glass substrates, rods, bars, plates, etc. Also, the PVD has the capability of heating substrates up to ~ 400 C and cooling them down to ~ -150 C (using liquid nitrogen).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3- The PVD system is capable of using different sources to evaporate more than one material simultaneously which allows for co-deposition of materials, if desired.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":23387,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"categories":[],"tags":[],"wsuwp_university_location":[],"wsuwp_university_org":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/labs.wsu.edu\/carbon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/857"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/labs.wsu.edu\/carbon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/labs.wsu.edu\/carbon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/labs.wsu.edu\/carbon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/23387"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/labs.wsu.edu\/carbon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=857"}],"version-history":[{"count":20,"href":"https:\/\/labs.wsu.edu\/carbon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/857\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2026,"href":"https:\/\/labs.wsu.edu\/carbon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/857\/revisions\/2026"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/labs.wsu.edu\/carbon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=857"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/labs.wsu.edu\/carbon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=857"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/labs.wsu.edu\/carbon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=857"},{"taxonomy":"wsuwp_university_location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/labs.wsu.edu\/carbon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wsuwp_university_location?post=857"},{"taxonomy":"wsuwp_university_org","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/labs.wsu.edu\/carbon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wsuwp_university_org?post=857"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
