Sputtering cathodes depositing thin films onto substrates in a PVD chamber
Physical Vapour Deposition Systems · Nordiko

2000 & 2550 PVD Systems

Flexible, automatic batch-load sputtering systems designed around different loading and wafer-handling requirements.

Overview

One process module. Two ways to load.

Nordiko's 2000 and 2550 series share a common process module. The 2000 can cycle to atmosphere for batch loading or use a single-shot load lock.

Pairing the module with a wafer-handling platform and vacuum cassette load lock creates the 2550 configuration.

System architecture

Configured for the process at hand.

01

Flexible cathode population

Choose four 200 mm cathodes or six 150 mm cathodes.

02

Power choices

Each cathode may be configured for RF diode, DC, RF magnetron or DC/RF magnetron operation.

03

Substrate formats

The rotating table can be configured to accommodate different substrate formats.

04

Geometry control

Adjust table height to optimise the process and rotate substrates from 2 to 30 rpm.
