What is it?

The sources describe Temescal 4-pocket electron-beam evaporation equipment used in vacuum deposition. One system is a dielectric-film deposition tool with a cryo-pumped chamber, crystal thickness monitoring, oxygen gas for stoichiometry control, and sample handling up to 5" diameter non-heated or 4" diameter heated. Another system is a load-locked metal evaporator with dual 4-pocket e-beam sources, co-deposition capability, and sample handling for one wafer up to 4" diameter.
