Perkin Elmer
2400
What it is
The Perkin Elmer 2400 is a sputtering tool or sputtering system.[1][6][2]
The model name in the available equipment descriptions is Perkin Elmer 2400, and one description identifies it as a sputtering system with two round cathodes.[6]
How it works
One described configuration includes 2 round cathodes, 1 MFC, a programmable HMI/PLC system with menu-driven operator and process engineer modes, a rebuilt CTI 8 cryopump with compressor and lines, a rebuilt dual-stage mechanical pump, and new electronics.[6]
The described MFC has the ability to maintain a vacuum level of 2-10 millitorr.[6]
