Systems

TSST Pulsed Laser Deposition systems for thin film growth are state-of-the-art, highly flexible systems for thin film research at atomic level, ideally suited and field proven for research on a large variety of materials including complex oxides. Our customised design approach allows various types of heating, with which temperatures up to 1000°C are obtained. A base pressure below 10-7 mbar is guaranteed, with UHV upgrade possibilities. Pressure is regulated through automated upstream and downstream control, which combines fast pressure set-point control. To guarantee high vacuum quality, the system can be equipped with a load-lock for sample and target carrousel exchange, optionally extended with heater and target storage possibilities. A six targets carousel is mounted on a stage which is controlled by the software, including spinning of the targets to ensure a large ablation area and prevent drilling.

A short outline:

  • Thin film growth of highest quality complex materials
  • Fully customised design, including adaptation to a specific lab layout
  • Remote support, service and on-site training by TSST engineers
  • Down to 10-7 mbar base pressure
  • Up to 1000°C growth temperature
  • Up to 6 different targets for heterostructure growth.
