MBE-Komponenten offers a large variety of heatable Substrate Manipulators  SH.

Tungsten and tantalum wire heaters or graphite heaters are available. Through careful material selection and optimized design, clean operation and high reliability of our substrate manipulators are achieved.

SH manipulators are designed for continuous sample rotation. Inner water-cooled ceramic bearings allow long-time rotation.

The wafer holding system of the SH manipulators is adapted to the transfer system of your system. Some examples are illustrated in the figures provided on the right:
A special U-shaped wafer holder for a substrate manipulator type SH 150-4W25 and a wafer holder made of tantalum for a Si wafer ring adapter. Solutions for standard Riber molybdenum wafer holders are available, too.

For standard face-down transfer systems a vertical linear substrate travel of 25 mm is provided. Increased linear travel is available on request.

Several manipulator options like integrated main shutter or electrically insulated wafer holding are provided.

A magnetically coupled rotary motion feedthrough (MRD 16) is used for substrate rotation and ensures a long and leak-free lifetime of the manipulator. Usual rotation speed during growth is in the range 10-30 RPM. For precise substrate rotation speed control we offer a manipulator control unit MCU. The MCU is delivered with a suitable electric motor and motor mounting kit.

Application

Our substrate manipulators are used in standard III-V MBE, GaN MBE, SiC growth and SiGe MBE.

W heaters are recommended for high-temperature applications.

For III-V MBE a Ta wire heater is recommended.

In SiGe MBE a pyrolytic graphite heater is often used. It provides clean UHV environment even at high operation temperature up to 1000°C.
