DD1, a small sputtering device
Previous  Top  Next

DD1 is a small sputtering device that can deposit thin films on small substrates such as microscope slides. Looking at the geometry of the machine, we do not expect the films to be very homogeneous. But we can do a lot of rather cheap deposition experiments with the following materials:

Metals
·Au  
·Ag  
·Cr  

Oxides
·A-oxide  
·B-oxide  
·C-oxide  

Nitrides
·Si3N4  

DD1 has a rotating wheel with 20 positions for microscope slides. Each sample can be placed over various sputtering targets. A system of programmable shutters enables us to vary the deposition time for each target and each individual sample.
