Temescal

IC/5

Research Quality: 40% complete

What is it?

The sources describe the Temescal IC/5 as a multi-process deposition controller for e-beam systems and as a thin film deposition controller for evaporation and other physical vapor deposition (PVD) processes. The controller is described as having enhanced software and logic I/O features, and it can store up to 50 processes and 250 total layers, with unlimited storage available using the floppy disk option.
