Typical PLD System Configuration and Variations

1. Typical PLD Configuration
The substrate and target are introduced through a load lock chamber opposite the target gearbox. The substrate is then rotated on its polar axis to face the target gearbox. The substrate can be moved out of the way for transfer of the targets. This is one of the most common and economical configurations.

2. Vertical PLD Configuration
This design features up-facing, gravity-held target holders to accommodate liquid, powder, or conventional targets. A custom transfer fork moves substrates and targets into place via standard load lock chamber.

3. Simple PLD Configuration
This design offers basic substrate and target devices with no XY or Z adjustment. Substrate and target changes are done at atmosphere.

4. Multi-Purpose PLD Configuration
This design permits MBE growth, via bottom-flange-mounted evaporation sources, as well as PLD growth. Substrate assembly faces the side of the chamber for PLD, the bottom for MBE, and the other side for in-vacuum transfer of substrates.

PLD Components
