Evaporation Stack for OFETs, High Density

Substrates and Fabrication


Product Code E312
Price £460 ex. VAT

The evaporation stack holds the source-drain shadow masks (sold separately) and substrates in close contact for thermal evaporation. This is crucial for device fabrication because the source-drain channel is the most critical feature on an OFET. For use with the Ossila high-density OFET source-drain evaporation masks and Silicon Oxide Substrates.

Specifications

The key component is the lower support, which is milled from a solid block of aluminum to provide high-precision recesses for individual shadow masks and substrates, and allows mixing-and-matching of shadow masks within a single evaporation.

Size 75 mm x 75 mm
Thickness 2 mm (exc. bolts)
Material Lower support: milled aluminum
Lid: stainless steel
Magnetic sheet: vinyl-laminated polymer resin with ferrite powder
Substrate capacity Square design: 12 substrates

Architecture of an Evaporation Stack

The diagram below shows an deconstructed view of how the evaporation stack fits together. At the base of the system is the lower support, which prevents the thin and flexible shadow masks from warping. This support has recesses in which individual masks are placed with the substrates placed on top of them. The lid is used to bolt everything together into a mechanically stable system that can be mounted in a deposition system at any orientation. Finally, a thick, low strength magnetic sheet is placed on to pull the shadow mask in close contact with the substrates.

Video Guide

PLEASE NOTE: The magnetic sheet should now be placed on top of the lid, so that it can be taken off while the substrates are still secure in the stack, thus avoiding damage to the substrates.

This video demonstrates how to load the high density OFET stack typically used to thermally evaporate (vacuum deposit) source-drain contacts. The video shows the below steps:

  1. Loading the interchangeable source-drain masks into the lower support (this is combined with the substrate holder).
  2. Loading the substrate
  3. Adding the magnetic sheet
  4. Screwing the lid on.

The high density OFET fabrication system makes it simpler and quicker to make and test a large number of devices for statistical and optimisation purposes. Find out more by contacting our OFET team.

System Overview

The high density fabrication system has four different masks available to allow the fabrication of devices in any geometry (top/bottom gates and top/bottom source-drain). The diagrams below show the features on each of the individual masks as well as how they fit together on a substrate.
