Description

MRC 603-III RF DC Sputtering System 3-Target 208V 3-Phase PVD Thin Film

Three-target RF/DC magnetron sputtering system for physical vapor deposition of thin films. Freestanding floor system with load-lock chamber, cryogenic vacuum pumping, and substrate heating capability.

Specifications & What's Included

  • 1.5 kW RF power supply, 3 kW DC power supply
  • Three sputtering targets with RF, DC, and DC magnetron modes
  • 8-inch CTI Cryo-Tor cryopump, LN2 cryotrap
  • Load-lock chamber: approximately 13 × 13 inch capacity
  • Substrate heater and Omega optical pyrometer
  • RF bias on substrate with adjustable phase
  • Power requirements: 208V, 160A, 60Hz, 3-phase

Applications

RF/DC magnetron sputtering systems are used for semiconductor, solar cell, and optical coating processes. The MRC 603-III supports deposition of metals, oxides, nitrides, and other materials onto wafers and substrates. Typical applications include hard coatings, barrier layers, and functional thin films in research and production environments.

Condition: For Parts or Not Working
This MRC 603-III RF/DC Sputtering System is being sold as-is. The system was reassembled and moved into storage, but the facility was shut down before it could be commissioned or tested — it has not been powered up or leak-checked following its last move. As a result, we make no representation as to its current operational status. Buyers intending to put the system back into service should plan to perform a full vacuum leak check before applying power. The system is available for in-person inspection at our facility in Ventura, CA, and we encourage serious buyers to do so. Externally, the system shows general wear consistent with its age and prior industrial use. The main chamber interior shows heat discoloration and sputtering residue on the target shields, which is normal for a used sputtering system. All three target positions are present and visible; the load-lock bays appear intact. The CTI cryopump compressor, high-voltage power cabinet, vacuum control panel, and operator console are all included and visible in the photos. Please view our full photo set and contact us with any questions before purchasing.
