Stage Heating & Cooling

alt = Close-up of a heated stage. The central area is glowing with an orange light, indicating high temperatures. The surroundings are dark, contrasting with the bright heated section in the middle. It is enclosed, with visible metal parts that guide the heat.

Variable Angle Stage

alt = Sputter ion beam variable angle deposition system. It has multiple angled holders, sensors, nozzles arranged in a high vacuum chamber. It is design for depositing thin films at various angles.

Roll to Roll Coating

alt = Close up of a roll-to-roll machine. It has metal components and cylindrical rollers for continuous processing of materials. It has rotating parts made by Angstrom Engineering's commitment to precision.

Masking Shutter

Planetary & Dome Fixtures

alt = Close up of an E-beam planetary system showing the internal variety of fixtures and central platform in a metal chamber. This is designed for electron beam processing with precise manufacturing.

Substrate Biasing

alt = Interior of an RF (Radio Frequency) bias stage. A circular platform illuminated by orange and purple light. It is used to add a controlled bias to a substrate.

Substrate Transfer

alt = View inside a substrate transfer system. It has a metallic structure with multiple layers to support and move substrates. The central area is lit up and engineered for controlled and accurate handling. This indicates the highly precise engineering done by Angstrom Engineering in their systems.

Mask Handling

alt = close up view of a circular shadow mask. It is held by a blue gloved hand and has a grid of square cut outs. The precise design and clean edges shows the thorough job that Angstrom Engineering does.

Advanced Process Control Software

  • PC/PLC-controlled recipes for single, batch, or automated processes.
  • Advanced data logging and process tracking ensure consistent and repeatable processes
  • High-resolution control provides impressive low-rate stability and consistent doping ratios.
  • The central control station manages each module and schedules the processes in each chamber.
  • Independent control of multiple chambers (if applicable).
  • Complex recipes can be created and modified easily.
  • Automatic PID control loop tuning significantly reduces process development time.

University of Edinburgh, UK

We have an Angstrom Engineering sputter platform, as well as an electron beam evaporation tool. The software has made both systems, which are used for a wide range of materials, simple to use. Furthermore, the ability for the Angstrom team to remotely connect to the software and platform has been particularly useful.  We have been very impressed with the level of communication from Angstrom Engineering, who have kept us informed at all stages of the design and delivery process, offering advice on facilities when needed. Service and support have also been excellent, with very rapid turnaround when ordering materials, which have arrived as quickly as our UK-based vendors.
