Profilometer

Responsible: Elti Cattaruzza

Instruments and tools:

  • Custom-built RF-magnetron sputtering system for thin films deposition, equipped with three independent circular (2 inches diameter), water-cooled, planar radiofrequency (13.56 MHz) magnetron sources. The circular sample holder (11.3 cm diameter) can be RF-biased and/or heated during deposition (up to about 500°C). Three different and independent working gas lines are present.
  • Dual-frequency atmospheric plasma jet for cold, efficient and clean plasma surface treatments.
  • Alpha-Step profiler for 2D profiling, providing up to 2000 μm vertical range, Ångström resolution, low force (down to 1 mg).
