FloTron™ H (Hybrid), Multi-channel Process Control and combined Broadband and single-wavelength Plasma Monitoring
KEY FLOTRON™ H ADVANTAGES
- One compact unit brings
- Voltage control
- ‘Single-wavelength’ UV-VIS-nIR plasma OES, process monitoring and control
- Spectrometer-based UV-VIS-nIR plasma OES, process monitoring and control
- Perfect for applications where monitoring and/or control of multiple locations, processes or plasma emissions are important
- e.g. use Voltage Control for reactive SiO2 sputtering process, single-wavelength OES for Nb2O5 sputtering process and CCD spectrometer OES for reactive ITO sputtering process, all in one system.
- Applications: Reactive Magnetron Sputtering, Vacuum Arc, EB evaporation, IBS, PECVD & PEALD processes
- Perfect for R&D, pilot production and 24/7 mass production; high accuracy, excellent long-term process stability and reproducibility
- A cost effective and easy to integrate solution providing dramatic process improvements
- NEW Advanced software features, such as Dual Sensor mode, externally synchronized sensor data output, simultaneous multi-spectra acquisition and display, etc.
