Cressington Coaters Overview

108C Auto/SE Carbon Coater

for scanning electron microscopy sample preparation and X-ray micro-analysis

108C Auto/SE Carbon Coater

The 108C Auto/SE Carbon Coater with Ø150mm Chamber

The 108C Auto/SE Carbon Coater has the same technical specifications regarding the carbon coating capabilities as the standard 108C Auto Carbon Coater. The special feature of the Auto/SE is the larger, 150mm outer diameter chamber which will accommodate the optional Rotary Tilting Stage or Rotary Planetary Tilting Stage. The advantage of using the Rotary Planetary Tilting Stage is that highly topographic specimens or larger specimens can be uniformly coated to give better conductivity when performing EDX analysis on such specimens. For more demanding TEM, STEM, EBSD and microprobe applications the 208C High Vacuum Turbo Carbon Coater is the carbon coater of choice.


How do the 108C Auto and the 108C Auto/SE compare?

1. Increased chamber diameter
Chamber size has been increased to permit coating of larger samples. Standard Chamber 150mm dia. x 165mm 		Ø150mm Ø120mm
2. Variable chamber geometry (option)
Adjustable chamber height is used to improve coating uniformity and vary the deposition rate		 X -
3. Sample stage movements (option)
Separate rotary, planetary and tilting sample movements to optimize coating distribution and coverage. 		X -



The 108 Auto/SE Carbon Coater can be equipped with an optional Rotary-Planetary-Tilting or Rotary-Tilting Stage to accommodate multiple or large samples.

The 108C Auto/SE Carbon Coater can be fitted with an optional MTM-10 Thickness Measurement System. Resolution is better than 0.1nm for carbon. Careful use of the monitor and evaporation controller gives better reproducibility of coating thickness in the useful 15nm to 25nm range.
