DST1-300 – Magnetron Desk Sputter Coater
The high-vacuum magnetron desk sputter coater model DST1-300 is a compact coating system capable of performing durable deposition of uniform coatings of semiconductors, dielectrics and metals (oxidising and non-oxidising) with fine-grain sizes in a large 300 mm dia. chamber. The large chamber DST1-300 with a 2, 3, or 4-inch water-cooled magnetron cathode is ideally suitable for coating large specimens with diameters of up to 15 cm, or multiple smaller specimens over a similar diameter.
