What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Temescal FCE 4800 is a thin-film deposition system. Temescal is a manufacturer of vacuum deposition equipment, including electron-beam evaporation and sputtering systems. The FCE 4800 belongs to the FCE series of deposition tools designed for production and research applications.

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

The system typically includes a vacuum chamber, a substrate holder that may be rotated or heated, and a quartz crystal microbalance or other sensor to monitor deposition rate and thickness. Multiple crucible pockets allow sequential deposition of different materials without breaking vacuum.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

The FCE 4800 can deposit a wide range of materials, including metals (such as aluminum, copper, gold, and titanium), dielectrics (such as silicon dioxide and magnesium fluoride), and various alloys. Applications include front-end and back-end semiconductor processing, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) fabrication, optical interference filters, and research and development of thin-film coatings.
