The vapour to condense OIR is introduced in the SEM chamber through a stainless steel nozzle that is connected to the GIS outside the SEM. The GIS consists in a manifold assembly with one UHV leak valve and various HV angle valves, and is connected through a custom flange on the SEM front door. The leak valve is a manual needle valve connecting the GIS body to the inner nozzle and it restricts the injection rate so it can be controlled.


 
Glass vials with a HV connection are used to store precursors: larger diameter vials house solid precursors, smaller ones the liquids. A VCR adapter can be used to fit e.g. a gas line instead, for gaseous sources.

The overall vacuum schematics once all systems are in place is displayed in the image. An external rack houses the temperature, gate valve control and interlock, and the load-lock pump controller. The pumping controller is interfaced with the interlock inside the rack and with the load-lock turbo and roughing pumps which are located under the cleanroom floor, and can control both of them individually.
