The “Baffled Box” Silicon Monoxide Source, SiO source, has proven to be an extremely successful method of depositing Silicon Monoxide. Source material is positioned in the boat within separate cavities, when heated it follows an indirect path through a series of baffles and then out of the exhaust chimney.
Our Micro-Electronic sources represent a full line of smaller size sources that are similar to the standard size sources. The overall length on these sources is slightly less than 50.8mm (2 inches) in most cases. The smaller sources are ideal for lower power systems or processes that require small amounts of evaporants.
We supply a selection of mechanical pump fluids, including synthetic hydrocarbon fluids, to suit all processes.
Our range of diffusion pump fluids and silicone fluids includes Fomblin PFPE vacuum pump fluids and more.
Our high vacuum greases and waxes provide the lubrication needed for both high and low temperature vacuum sealing applications.
Testbourne offers an effective, user friendly way to evaporate chromium. The chrome plated tungsten rods are used for thin films of chromium in the electronics and optics industries. The advantage of using chrome rods over chrome chips are better thermal efficiency, regulation of film thickness and elimination of spitting and spalling which can cause pinhole type defects.
The RD Mathis Company offer several technical papers that relate to various aspects of the thin film coating process and the Thermal Evaporation Method of depositing materials in vacuum. These papers are available to you upon your request and may offer valuable insight into a specific thin film coating questions that you might have. Listed below are the publications, along with a brief description, that we would be happy to send to you upon your request. Click the linked documents below for a PDF version.
Inland General Purpose Hydrocarbon Mechanical Pump Fluids
geminYe PFPE mechanical fluid oils have excellent lubricity properties and are available in viscosity grades suitable for use in all vacuum pumps.
Fomblin PFPE vacuum pump fluids are non-flammable, chemically inert, and thermally stable.
