Carbon Rod Coater
TITLE: Sputter/Carbon Rod Coater
Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC), on behalf of the National Research Council of Canada, intends to negotiate with Leica Microsystems Canada for the provision of a Sputter/Carbon Rod Coater.
BACKGROUND The Electron Microscopy Lab at the National Institute for Nanotechnology has a requirement for a new Sputter and Evaporation Coating Machine. The Coater will be used for internal research and supporting external clients.
MANDATORY TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Sputter Coater Requirement
1. The coater must be capable of depositing different materials on different substrates. It should have the option of depositing carbon rod and yarn and is flexible enough to accommodate sputtering of different metals. 2. The instrument must have the flexibility to deposit materials via the sputtering process, arc discharge or via evaporation of materials. 3. Automated stage rotation at room temperature and the stage must have the flexibility in exchanging a motorized or a cryo stage. 4. The machine should be able to save recipes that can be downloaded through a USB port connection. 5. Cryogenic deposition upgrade: Coating of frozen samples is a necessity. The instrument must have the ports necessary for future cryogenic stage upgrade. 6. It must have a minimum of 2 target shutters. 7. Huge number of stubs can becoated at one time: The chamber and the sample holder configuration must be able to accommodate a maximum of 25 stubs or 3.2mm diameter stubs at one time. 8.
