What it is

The Denton Vacuum BTT IV Thermal is a benchtop thermal evaporation deposition system. The machine belongs to the deposition category and uses a turbo high-vacuum configuration.[1][2][4]

The BTT IV Thermal is configured with one thermal evaporative source. The machine includes a crystal film thickness monitor option, a touch screen PLC controller, and a quartz bell jar with implosion guard.[1][2][4]

How it works

The BTT IV Thermal uses a high-vacuum turbo pump with a roughing pump built into the system base. The machine also includes an automatic pumpdown and venting sequence with manual overrides, plus an automatic filament evaporation cycle.[1][3]

The BTT IV Thermal has an integrated touch screen control panel. The machine also includes an LN two cold trap and a high vacuum valve.[3]

Where it fits in the process flow

The BTT IV Thermal is used as a vacuum deposition tool for thin films. The machine is positioned as a bench-top system rather than a production cluster tool.[3][2]
