==Sputtering of Aluminium==
==Sputtering of Aluminium==


Aluminium may be sputter deposited in either Wordentec or the Lesker sputter system.
Aluminium may be sputter deposited in either the Wordentec, the sputter-system (Lesker), or the cluster-based sputter system ("Sputter-System Metal-Oxide(PC1)" and "Sputter-System Metal-Nitride(PC3)"). See more in the matrix below.

==E-beam evaporation of Aluminium==
==E-beam evaporation of Aluminium==


Aluminium can be deposited be e-beam assisted evaporation in wordentec, Physimeca and Temescal
Aluminium can be deposited by e-beam assisted evaporation in the Wordentec and the two Temescal tools.
