PicoTech offers a wide range of Gridded KDC Sources by Kaufman & Robinson.
The KDC products are enhanced designs of the historic Kaufman style ion source. Traditional ion beam processing is available with the high-quality and stable beams output by these sources.
Kaufman & Robinson offers a comprehensive KDC product package. The package is complete with components required to install and operate the KDC products, including the KDC ion source, application-specific ion optics, electron source neutralizer, power supply controller, vacuum feedthroughs, and cables.
Typical applications are:
Ion beam-assisted deposition in thermal and e-beam evaporation (IBAD)
In-situ preclean in sputtering and evaporation (PC)
Surface modification and activation (SM)
Direct deposition of thin, hard, or functional coatings (DD)
Ion beam sputter deposition of single and multilayer structures (IBSD)
Ion beam etching of surface features in any material (IBE)
Ion beam tuning, and figuring of precision devices (IBF)
