CTS10U Deposition System

CTS10U is an upgrade for the widely popular clam shell design pioneered by ASTeX - our former team. Its high power and vacuum seal upgrades push diamond material quality to stateof the art levels of purity and throughput. The system software brings unparalleled levels of easy of use and safety critical both for R&D and commercial production of electronics and gems.

Key Technical Highlights

Exciting New Capabilities

  • Double seals and conflat flanges for world class purity from Nitrogen  contamination.

  • PPB Nitrogen leak purity implemented with differentially pumped O rings and Conflat Flange on all seals (compare with O rings on prior systems)

  • Highest available MW power (12kW available, 15KW in testing) for larger area/higher growth rate processes.

  • 6-600 Torr pressure range

  • Advanced process control and monitoring including internet access to system control functions.

  • Customizable fixturing, viewports for in-situ monitoring.

  • Powerful software includes 24/7 all parameter logging, advanced (trailing) interlocks and web/mobile access to system data and control

  • CVD Diamond

Indispensable Features

  • Bias Enhanced Nucleation (BEN) for heteroepitaxy See - Nature.com

  • 100mm (4") diameter wafer heater providing +-10% uniformity microcrystalline thin diamond films

  • Temperature controlled Translation Stage for large single crystal growth

  • No line of sight between quartz microwave window and plasma to reduce silicon contamination from the window - a common issue due to atomic hydrogen reaction with quartz silicon dioxide.

  • Stable plasma for widest range in pressure, power and substrate geometry

  • Integrated Helium leak testing port 

  • Power upgradeable to 15KW (retrofitted to existing systems)

  • World Class Electronic Performance, 100mm diamond coating diameter
