Work in Progress
As of Feb. 2023: The Chamber is now operational for Thermal Evaporation, work on E-Beam deposition ongoing.
Donated to OV by the Department of Electronic Systems (IES) on 2019-02-26, after being kept in storage since around 2000.
Built as an evaporation- and electron beam coating/deposition machine, it is also used as a general purpose vaccuum chamber and as the basis of OV's vacuum laboratory. The chamber volume is 240L.
