Typical TROVATO MFG
Integrated Thin Film Deposition System

6 substrate / 3 shadow mask
with optional "FLYING SHUTTERS"


"FLYING SHUTTERS" allow independent actuation of individual shutters during rotation.

8 evaporative sources (expandable)
(three constituent co-dep capability - standard)


Typical source layout & TROVATO High Current Switch for automated source indexing.

Low profile inert environment chamber access and a working glove box.
(allows gloved access to the entire vacuum chamber)

Substrate heating is available as an option.
PID controlled heaters are integrated into the thin film program and control
substrate temperature - even during rotation.

Fully automated - integrated - vacuum and thin film process software.

Our systems are customized to your research requirements.


Examples of Trovato systems

All systems come with a set of custom shadow masks per your specifications.

?

?
Consituent ratio studies

X

?

?
Dopant concentration studies

X

?

?
Material conformance evaluations

X

?

?
Encapsulation studies

X

?

?
This system will be delivered ready to “plug-and-play.”

X

?

?
Integrated frame/chamber/inert environment design with small footprint

X

?

?
The system will be fully tested at our facility, prior to shipping, including the production of a functioning OLED device.

X

?

?
Pricing shall include delivery and final set-up.

X

?

?
The deposition test will be repeated at customer's lab, prior to final payment.

X

?

?
This fully automated system will produce a functional multi-layered device from a pre-programmed recipe, with no operator intervention. Control and motion of substrates, shadow masks, boat source selection and pump sequencing will all be computer controlled and will not require any operator interaction.

X

?

?
Automated Deposition Control:

X

?

?
PC controlled deposition system will utilize Sigma Instruments SQS-242 Rate/Thickness software, for automated thin film deposition programming, in conjucntion with Trovato Custom Software that expands the capabilities of the Sigma Software:

X

?

?
* Programmable for automated layer thickness variant control.

X

?

?
* Programmable for automated constituent ratio variant control.

X

?

?
* 4 rate crystal monitor heads. (Expandable)

X

?

?
Custom designed executable program for independent fixture control.

X

?

?
Co-deposition of three materials capability included – and easily adaptable to quadruple deposition.

X

?

?
Eight thermal evaporative sources are standard and expandable to suit your proceess needs, with:

X

?

?
* Two 3 kw power supplies.

X

?

?
* One 1 kw power supply

X

?

?
Computer controlled high current switch to automate distribution of the power supply outputs to the eight thermal source locations, from the power supplies.

X

?

?
Automated Substrate Fixture:

X

?

?
Six substrate fixture capacity.

X

?

?
Three mask fixture with automated mask sequencing standard

X

?

?
Substrate platter rotates for uniform deposition on all substrates,

X

?

?
* substrates can be coated one at a time, in any automated sequence, for variant studies.

X

?

?
* mask changes are computer controlled and achieved without interrupting the process.

X

?

?
Organic and cathode masks are automatically changed and presented to the substrates without operator interaction, or breaking vacuum.

X

?

?
Substrate shutters will open and close automatically, according to programmed deposition recipe.

X

?

?
Any pneumatic and electrical actuators shall be outside the vacuum chamber. Any mechanical motion shall be transmitted via ferrofluidic feedthroughs.

X

?

?
Vacuum System:
Custom designed executable programming for automated pump sequencing and auto regeneration of the cryo head.

X

?

?
CTI Cryotorr 8F cryogenic pump, for maximum water removal and pumping speed.

X

?

?
Cryo pump mounted on the side of the chamber to minimize contaminant intrusion into the array.

X

?

?
Granville Phillips Micro-Ion and Convectron gauging.

X

?

?
Pneumatically actuated valves with position indicators for positive feedback and maximum protection for the vacuum system and process integrity.

X

?

?
Vacuum Chamber
Custom designed Box chamber, with two doors: the front door, situated inside the environmental containment system, will be pneumatically operated and controleld to open downward, to minimize the space requirements of the footprint of the system; the rear door is a full access, swing-out door, for maintenance of the interior of the chamber.

X

?

?
Additional ports for future instrumentation access.

X

?

?
Environmental Containment System
Environmental containment Glove Box system included. The system consists of an integral Glove Box, mounted on the system frame, with an extension to provide inert atmosphere containment and full gloved access to the open chamber, when the front door is open. The glove box can be used for substrate preparation and encapsulation.

X

?

?
Moisture monitoring is included in the glovebox.

X

?

?
NOTE: The system is a world-class research deposition system with an environmental containment system built around it - it is NOT a glovebox with a small chamber in it.

X

?

?
MISC
The system will be constructed on a custom designed, unitized welded frame for full system integrity.

X

?

?
A 17” color LCD panel monitor will be mounted on the instrument tower, at eye level, to provide operator information and feedback.

X

?

?
The warranty for this system will extend for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of delivery.

X

?

?
Price includes set-up at your lab.

X

?

?
Price includes three days of training at your lab.

X

?

?
Telephone support provided.
