DSR1 – Dedicated Sputter Coater
The Desk SEM Coater model DSR1 is a compact coating system able to coat noble metals such as gold (Au), palladium (Pd), platinum (Pt), and gold/palladium (Au/Pd) thin films on non-conductive or poorly conductive specimens. Uniform thin films with fine-grain sizes are formed in a fast cycle time.

Sputter Coater Applications
The DSR is a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) sample preparation system, SEM coater equipped with a rotary pump to achieve vacuum less than 50 mTorr which is a suitable vacuum range for noble metals sputter coating.
Touch Screen Control with Colourful Display
DSR1, the desk sputter coater, is equipped with a 7” coloured touch screen and full automatic control and data input that can be operated by even inexperienced users. The vacuum, current and deposition information can be observed as digital data or curves on the touch screen. Information of the last 300 coating can also be saved in the history page.
Sample Holder
The DSR1 can be equipped with different sample stage configurations depending on the user requirements. The standard sample stage is rotatable with adjustable height, angel and can be changed easily.
The rotary planetary sample stage is a good choice for uniform coating of porous specimens.
