Technical Information
Site requirements
Venting gas: Nitrogen supply for purging should be N4.8 (Zero Grade) 99.998% purity capable of supplying 0.5 bar (minimum 0.3 bar and maximum 1 bar) with nominal flow rate of 3 ± 0.2 litre/min for 60 s. The system is supplied with 3m plastic tubing 3 mm I.D. x 6 mm O.D. from quick release connectors to be fitted to a pressure regulator or plant supply.
Pumping gas: Argon supply for sputtering should be N4.8 (Zero Grade) 99.998% purity capable of supplying 0.5 bar (minimum 0.3 bar and maximum 1 bar) with nominal flow rate of 3 ± 0.2 litre/min for a 4-minute maximum sputter cycle time (some instruments may have specially extended sputter cycles). The system is supplied with 3m plastic tubing 3 mm I.D. x 6 mm O.D. from quick release connectors on the rear of the unit. It is the customer’s responsibility to connect from this hose to the pressure regulator set at approximately 10psi, from gas bottle or plant supply. Typically, a system will use 0.2 litres of Argon for a 4-minute sputter cycle.
