Nickel deposition
Nickel can be deposited by e-beam evaporation or sputtering at DTU Nanolab. For electroplating you will have to contact other institutes at DTU, e.g., DTU Mechanical Engineering.
Some process information is available here for e-beam evaporated films:
In the chart below you can compare the different deposition equipment:
E-beam evaporation (E-beam evaporator (Temescal) and E-beam evaporator (10-pockets)) | E-beam evaporation (Wordentec) | Sputter deposition (Lesker) | Sputter deposition (Sputter-system Metal-Oxide (PC1) and Sputter-system Metal-Nitride (PC3)) | |

* To deposit a cumulative thickness above 600 nm permission is required from metal@nanolab.dtu.dk to ensure enough material is present in the machine
** To deposit a cumulative thickness above 200 nm permission is required from metal@nanolab.dtu.dk to ensure enough material is present in the machine
