Focus on Euclid Techlabs

 

My Note: I previously featured a post on Euclid Techlabs. I continue to find really interesting materials on their webpage. The following is just a "taste", random pages I found interesting,  and I encourage you to check out the cutting-edge work they are doing.

EUCLID TECHLABS Thick Film Ceramic/Dielectric Sputtering Metallization Technology

Euclid has developed a sputtering system, initially for depositing copper skins on dielectric wakefield structures, but also potentially useful for a variety of metallization and dielectric deposition applications. The system's capabilities include:

 

 

• The ability to rapidly grow metal films of up to ~10 μm thickness (important for GHz and THz applications where the effects of the skin depth need to be considered), and
• smooth ultrathin (~10 nm) films;
• metallizing substrates of arbitrary shape, including ~1 mm diameter tubes for dielectric loaded accelerator applications.
• Besides metallization, the system can be driven by an RF power source and used to deposit dielectric materials such as Al₂O₃.

The sputtering system developed by Euclid. Base pressure is 10^-7 Torr. Sputtering is performed using argon at 10^-4 to 10^-3 Torr to provide the highest sputtering rate



Diamond materials grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) are a relatively new class of engineering materials exploiting the superior thermal, mechanical, chemical, optical, and electronic properties of diamond. The CVD process allows for high purity and control of the material characteristics unavailable in either natural diamonds, or high pressure, high temperature (HPHT) synthetic diamonds. These new materials are enabling applications such as megawatt microwave sources (gyrotrons), synchrotron beam line optics and windows, radiation-hard detectors, artificial retina coatings, electrochemical waste water treatment, optical windows for spectroscopic sensing of harsh environments, corrosive pump seals, heat spreaders for electronic components and diode lasers, just to name a few of the many advanced technological applications. Polycrystalline CVD diamond has been grown in plates as thick as 5 mm and 100 mm diameter.
