The HHV Scancoat Six

System features

• Automated sputtering with digital process timer for repeatable operation
• Straightforward operation
• Cool’ sputtering helps to prevent heat damage to delicate specimens.
• Water-cooled copper specimen table provides additional heat sink capacity to further reduce heating of delicate samples.
• Built-in sputter etch / sample clean facility.
• Universal specimen holder accepts sample stubs from most EM manufacturers.
• Optional carbon evaporation accessory for TEM and x-ray microanalysis sample preparation.
• Supplied with rotary pump, 0.1mm gold target and built in feed through for optional film thickness monitor.

The Scancoat Six is offered with a gold target as standard. Other targets are
available in platinum, gold/palladium alloy, copper and iron.

Carbon accessory

Researchers working with Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) can use the optional carbon evaporation accessory for the production of carbon films.

The carbon fibre evaporation source is mounted on a chamber top plate and provided with a power supply module. The chamber top plate fits directly onto the Scancoat chamber in place of the sputtering top plate. A support on the power supply module holds the chamber top plate when not in use, freeing both hands for carbon fibre loading.

Operation is simple with an "out gassing" power setting for heating the . A shutter is provided to protect specimens from radiated heat during out gassing. A push button enables full power to be applied to the fibre to "flash" evaporate it.

Each accessory is supplied with 3 m of carbon fibre.
