EH1000 Versions

 

EH 400 Ion Source - Filament Version EH1000F - Filament Version
This unit utilizes a robust tungsten cathode filament to provide both the plasma discharge and automatic beam neutralization. New design features enable the source to operate for extended periods with either inert or reactive gases.

EH 400 Ion Source -HC Version EH1000HC - Hollow Cathode Version
This unit is provided with a new design hollow cathode electron source in place of the filament. Extremely long operational times are possible and the absence of a thermionic filament promotes a very high purity thin film environment.
The EH 1000 product line produces a high current and low energy ion beam ideally suited for surface treatment and thin film growth applications which include:
  • Ion Beam Assisted Deposition (IBAD)
  • In-Situ Substrate Precleaning
  • Diamond Like Carbon (DLC)
