The Smart Jar™ System for Evaporation
The Super Series Smart Box™

The Smart Jar™ can be used for either dielectric or metals deposition.
- Full opening front door for ease of loading
- Multiple sources, either electron beam guns and/or thermal sources for varied material requirements
- Ion-assisted deposition (IAD) for dense moisture stable dielectric films
- In-situ optical monitoring for accurate layer termination
- Dual rotation tilt or fixed planetary for precision coatings
- Single rotation domes for high system productivity
- Addition of sputter sources for unique deposition requirements
- Substrate heat for cleaner substrates and denser more homogenous films
- Gas introduction and control for reactive film deposition
- Electro-polished chamber, with in-situ heater and high speed pumping for lower cleaner partial pressure
- Source distance dynamically variable and positionable
- Production proven software tailored to meet your needs
