What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Temescal SuperSweep64 is a programmable beam sweep controller for an electron beam source used in deposition systems.

How it works

The Temescal SuperSweep64 offers fully digital operation, internal storage for up to sixty-four user-defined sweep patterns, and compatibility with almost any commercially available e-beam gun.[2][1]

The Temescal SuperSweep64 can address, dwell at, or avoid any of one thousand twenty-four discrete points.[2][1]

Where it fits in the process flow

The Temescal SuperSweep64 is used with Temescal deposition systems that perform lift-off oriented evaporation and metallization.[4][6]

Applications

The Temescal SuperSweep64 is used in e-beam physical vapor deposition processes.[2][1]

The Temescal SuperSweep64 is compatible with deposition systems configured for lift-off oriented evaporation and wafer metallization.[4][6]

  • lift-off oriented evaporation
  • metallization
