[3dem] Carbon evaporator for SPA

[Tobias Furstenhaupt]

Hello Marion,

We have the safematic CCU-010. It is a pure roomtemperature machine, not too expensive, simple and fast. We use it only to evaporate some nm carbon (or gold with another head) on our samples - we have no experience in creating continuous films with this machine. For our purposes it works fast and reliable. It works with carbon thread evaporation, oil-free pumping (if you pay for it) (turbo and prepump), quartz monitor (overall deposition and deposition rate), sample stage rotation (even planetary rotation possible as option).
If it fits your requirement profile, try to demo it/get an on-site demo specifically for film preparation.

cheers 
Tobias 

PS: you are more than welcome to visit us in lovely Dresden to test it.
PPS: in germany baltic-praeparation.de sells the CCU-010. Mrs. and Mr. Wiemer are very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. And he worked before at Bal-Tec :)
