Ferrotec Introduces New Electron Beam Evaporation Solutions at Society of Vacuum Coaters Conference; New EV M-10 High-Capacity E-Beam Source and High-Performance Emitter Design Offer Major Upgrade to Electron Beam Coating Systems.WASHINGTON -- Ferrotec (USA) Corporation, a global supplier of materials, components, precision system solutions, and a worldwide leader in electron beam A stream of electrons, or electricity, that is directed towards a receiving object. See electron beam imaging and electron beam lithography. evaporation evaporation, change of a liquid into vapor at any temperature below its boiling point. For example, water, when placed in a shallow open container exposed to air, gradually disappears, evaporating at a rate that depends on the amount of surface exposed, the humidity solutions, today announced the introduction of two new major upgrade options for electron beam evaporation system users, the EV M-10 and the new high-performance e-beam emitter. The EV M-10 is a high-capacity multi-hearth e-beam source, a versatile new evaporation platform for large-volume vacuum chambers. Ferrotec's new high-performance e-beam emitter design is a streamlined component upgrade that delivers enhanced performance, reliability and system serviceability. "As a market leader for precision electron beam evaporation systems, Ferrotec is transforming the coating system market with solutions that deliver unprecedented features, performance, and value," said Jurgen Pfahler, General Manager of the Vacuum Solutions Division for Ferrotec GmbH. "From the EV M-10 high capacity e-beam source to Ferrotec's new emitter design, our new e-beam products integrate key improvements that our customers have been requesting." Typically used for optical coating An optical coating is a process of placing thin layer of material on an optical component such as a lens or mirror which alters the way in which the optic reflects and transmits light. , electronic, and high-rate deposition processes, electron beam evaporation systems use high-voltage (typically 10,000V/500mA) and high-current (typically 50A/12V) to vaporize va·por·ize v.

Ferrotec's new EV M-10 e-beam source -- the assembled subsystem where the evaporation process takes place -- is optimized for volume e-beam coating applications with an integrated multi-hearth drive-thru assembly that incorporates optical positioning and water-cooling, large-capacity crucibles, and flexible support for customer-specified crucible crucible, vessel in which a substance is heated to a high temperature, as for fusing or calcining. The necessary properties of a crucible are that it maintain its mechanical strength and rigidity at high temperatures and that it not react in an undesirable way with designs. The EV M-10 also delivers enhanced operational performance with Ferrotec's new proprietary High Accuracy Magnetic Field Modeling technology for increased e-beam precision with smaller spot size and improved beam impact angle. Ferrotec's new high-performance e-beam emitter is an enhanced solution for existing Ferrotec customers and some third-party system users. Designed to provide longer filament filament, in astronomy: see chromosphere. life and to eliminate some of the hassles traditionally associated with replacing the filament, Ferrotec's new e-beam emitter uses a streamlined solid ceramic block design with 50% fewer parts than conventional designs. Because the new design reduces mechanical variations, customers can get up to twice the filament life compared to Ferrotec's current e-beam emitter design. Pricing and Availability The EV M-10 and the new e-beam emitter are available now. Both products can be purchased directly from Ferrotec and through the company's network of electron beam evaporation sales representatives.
