Ultra-High Vacuum for Uniform Thin Film Deposition
The mini E-beam from Oxford Applied Research can be used with rod or crucibles to evaporate and deposit uniform thin layers on substrates under Ultra-High Vacuum conditions. The EG series provide a voltage range of 0-1000V plus hardware flux control and shutters, and are high quality E-beam evaporators. The EG series can be equipped with up to 4 pockets and ability to co-evaporate 2 pockets at a time.

Calibrated low flux rate (material dependent)
The Oxford Applied Research mini E-beam provides a calibrated low flux rate, which is material dependent. The Silicon coverage is calculated to be 0.2ML from this image, therefore a 4nA flux corresponds to a rate of 0.8ML/min (0.11nm/min).
