Subject: [labnetwork] service (cleaning) for Ecosys Vector Ultra 3000 wet
scrubber
Message-ID: <CAGTqYdEzzk_9N8k4fsQWNp49kHn5bRs5wi=3GN=fkUAOjutR9g@mail.gmail.com>
Hello All,
I'm looking for recommendations for a company that can service/clean our
Ecosys Vector Ultra 3000 wet scrubber. We purchased it from Trillium
several years ago, however, they no longer have anyone available to service
the unit. The scrubber is used for LPCVD & MOVCD chemistries.
Thank you,
--

Hi Jing,
>From my previous experience, this is most likely caused by the TaxOy
isolation layer built on the surface of the target, which then brings
a lot of arc to break down the dielectric layer. Trying to lower the
base vacuum(Less O2 left in the chamber)before you send the Ar gas in
will help, another way is switching the DC sputtering power supply to
some kind of mid-Frequency power source, that will help to zero the
accumulated voltage potential on the surface of the isolation layer.
Many years ago, I designed a special pulsed sputtering power
supply(adding a very short positive microsecond pulse on top of
Negative sputtering voltage) which could solve the problem totally.
Best,
Minji
