Platinum deposition

Platinum can be deposited by e-beam evaporation or sputtering. In the chart below you can compare the different deposition equipment.


E-beam evaporation (Temescal) E-beam evaporation (Wordentec) Sputter deposition (Lesker) Sputter deposition (Sputter-system Metal-Oxide (PC1) and Sputter-system Metal-Nitride (PC3))
General description E-beam deposition of Pt E-beam deposition of Pt Sputter deposition of Pt Sputter deposition of Pt
Pre-clean Ar ion source none RF Ar clean RF Ar clean
Layer thickness 10Å - 600nm* 10Å - 600nm* 10Å - 600nm* 10Å - ? discuss with staff
Deposition rate 0.5Å/s to 10Å/s 0.5Å/s to 10Å/s up to 3.74 Å/s not known yet, probably similar to 'old' Lesker system

Comment

* If depositing a total of more than 600 nm, please write to metal@nanolab.dtu.dk well in advance to ensure that enough material is present.
