Tender description

The University of Manchester has a requirement to acquire an advanced multi-functional plasma assisted physical vapour deposition (PVD) facility. We would want to be able to deposit ceramic and metallic systems including alloys. This is for a range of research applications such as corrosion and wear protection. The system should incorporate the following features, which may be provided in one or more systems: Multi-Target Sputter PVD System incorporating at least 2 sputter targets and bias capability to the targets and substrate. A twin Electron Beam (EB) dual-evaporant source PVD system, incorporating enhanced plasma assistance using a non-contaminating plasma intensification device based on a hollow cathode discharge.
