Description
The Balzer-Elionix is primarily used to sputter thin layer of Au. One application is to prevent prevent charging effects on insulating substrates in SEM, ebeam lithography. This tool is simple and fast for this purpose compared to alternatives.

Best forApplications require thin layer of Au, such as preventing charging effects in SEM, ebeam lithography on insulating substrates.
LimitationsAu only, thin layers.
Characteristics/FOM
Caution withPotential adhesion problem of Au, as no adhesion layers can be deposited with this tool.
