What is it?

The AJA Quantum Materials Sputter Deposition System is described as a loadlocked UHV sputter deposition system for quantum devices. The source states that it has both RF and DC sputtering capability, RF substrate pre-treatment, an in-chamber ion source for substrate cleaning, two sputter guns for deposition, and two manually adjustable off-axis sputter guns for low-energy sputter deposition.

What can it run?
