Deposition200mmDenton Vacuum 635LL family
Research Quality: 50% complete

The Denton 635LL is a multi-cathode sputter deposition system that coats substrates up to 200 mm in diameter. The Denton 635LL features four cathodes, residual gas analysis (RGA), and optical emission spectroscopy (OES) feedback for reactive sputtering with oxygen or nitrogen. The Denton 635LL includes a heated/cooled chuck rated to 500 °C and supports co-sputtering.[1][2][3]
