The OCTOPLUS 400 system is ideally suited for III-V, II-VI and other compound semiconductor material applications.The OCTOPLUS 400 system can be easily adapted to small wafer segments as well as to 1, 2 or 3 inch wafers. The field-proven vertical chamber design of the OCTOPLUS 400 plus various state-of-the-art components allow layer by layer precise MBE growth.
Outstanding features of the OCTOPLUS 400 are the high reliability and versatility of the system and its compactness. These features make the OCTOPLUS 400 system particularly suited for applications in research and development. Nonetheless specific production processes are also covered.
The standard version of the OCTOPLUS 400 comprises 8 source ports with 4.5 inch (DN63CF) flange size. Up to 10 source ports are possible in a custom designed version on request. A rapidly pump-down load lock chamber with a horizontal working transfer rod system allows easy substrate introduction without breaking the vacuum of the MBE chamber.
We provide different kinds of effusion cells, valved cracker sources, gas sources and substrate manipulators according to all our customers' requirements. A well-manageable in-situ characterization is obtained by using beam-flux-gauges, RHEED systems or quadrupole mass analyzers (QMA). The proven MBE software EpiSoft controls all shutters, cell- and manipulator temperatures, the chamber pressure and cyropump temperatures. Maximum operation reproducibility and safety is guaranteed.
We are happy to discuss your MBE system specifications and give competent advice for your application. Do not hesitate to contact us.
The OCTOPLUS 400 is in use in leading laboratories. On demand we transmit a detailed list of references.
