Work Holders

HHV manufactures a range of work holders which are designed to suit a variety of PVD and PECVD processes. The work holders have many standard functionalities such as rotation, heating, and electrical biasing(RF/DC) to improve adhesion, uniformity and control film density. HHV also offers custom solution for substrate holders based on the sample size, geometry, throughput requirement and temperature range. 

Illustration

ROTATION

Options such as rotary, planar planetary, Knudsen planetary, glancing angle deposition (GLAD), and substrate flip mechanism. Substrate rotation can also be supplemented by source masking to ensure uniform depositions.

Illustration

BIASING

Substrate holders can be provided with various biasing options such as DC, pulsed DC, and at alternating frequencies such as MF, RF and mixed RF and LF frequencies.

Illustration

HEATING

Substrates can be heated up to 800 deg. Celsius using enclosed tubular heaters, IR Lamps, Pyrolytic Graphite, PBN or Nichrome. PID controllers ensure stable temperatures on the substrates throughout deposition.

Illustration

LINEAR Z-SHIFT

Provides the option to change source to sample distance up to 150mm. This feature is useful to determine optimum deposition conditions and facilitate substrate transfers between chambers.

Illustration

LOAD LOCKS

Load-locks allow samples to be transferred into the process chamber without it being vented. This enables the user to reduce cycle times and potential contamination of the chamber and source materials.

Illustration

TRANSFER

Linear transfers are available with manual or motorized actuation. These allow for in-situ transfer of samples between different chambers.

ROBOTICS

Specialized high vacuum compatible multi-axis robot with external teaching facility to map contours and uniformly coat complex components.
