SVTA source shutters are designed for quick motion and long cycle life. The source shutter assembly consists of an in-vacuum component, an external component and a shutter blade. SVTA offers two basic designs – a magnetically coupled design and a bellows coupled design. With the magnetically coupled design the service life is extended over a bellows style type.

Models are available in 3 or 4 inch stroke lengths and mounts on a 5″x2″ rectangular or 1.33″/4.5″/6.0″ CF flange. The shutter blades are made of either Molybdenum or Tantalum. Other materials are available on request. SVTA also offers a full computer controllable shutter package that includes a 19″ rack mountable control unit (SC200M).

As an option, SVTA also offers integral shutters (SVTA-IS) which are integrated into individual deposition sources, avoiding the need for a separate shutter installation port. These can be either pneumatically or manually actuated.

Features:

  • < 150msec Open/Close Actuation at 3″
  • Soft Action To Minimize Mechanical Shock
  • Pneumatic Actuation Requires Only 10-15 psi
  • Simple and Fast Removal for Blade Cleaning/Replacing
  • Highly Dependable
  • Long Cycle Lifetime
  • Linear Magnetically Coupled Models
    • Eliminate Need For Bellows
    • Reduces Particle and Outgassing Generation
