Temescal
1CK
How it works
The Temescal 1CK has a removable crucible cover that exposes only the pocket in evaporation position. The Temescal 1CK uses that cover arrangement to reduce the risk of cross-contamination. The Temescal 1CK allows crucible cover removal for source replenishment and for cleaning the crucible and adjacent structures in situ. The Temescal 1CK has adjustable internal and external polepiece extensions for beam spot control. The Temescal 1CK has enhanced crucible cooling for improved thermal stability during evaporation. The Temescal 1CK has ultra-stable magnetics that eliminate the need to regauss magnetic parts following source disassembly. The Temescal 1CK has 270° beam deflection. The Temescal 1CK provides longitudinal and lateral sweep capability when operated with a beam sweep controller.[1][2]
Applications
The Temescal 1CK is intended for electron beam deposition in a wide variety of coating applications. The Temescal 1CK is intended for applications where small crucible size is desirable. The Temescal 1CK has a representative evaporation rate of 25 kÅ of aluminum at a 10 in. source-to-substrate distance.[1][2]
