- Multiple carbon evaporation coating runs before source change
- Dual-location quartz crystal film thickness measurement - fitted as standard
- Intuitive, touch-screen control - rapid data input, simple operation
- Large chamber for samples up to 6"/152mm diameter
CT-010 carbon coating module
A highlight of the Safematic carbon coating module (CT-010) is the novel carbon fibre evaporation system - featuring a proprietary (patented) automatic carbon fibre spooling system. This allows up to 50 carbon coating runs without the need to change the carbon fibre source – a huge advantage over labour intensive “single shot” carbon coaters. The CT-010 also features carbon coating modes to suit requirements: gentle pulsed carbon coating for thin films and/or temperature sensitive samples, whilst short-time carbon coating mode with high power is useful for where thick layers are required (e.g. some FIB applications).
Precise control of carbon coating thickness
The CT-010 carbon coater module can precisely control carbon film thickness and terminate evaporation at user-defined thickness. The process uses the on-board quartz film thickness measurement system in combination with pulsed evaporation to track the increase in carbon film thickness and then adjust the evaporation current as it nears the user-defined thickness, typically in the region of 3-15nm for EM applications.
To find out more please see: Precise carbon thickness control.

Dual location film thickness monitor - included as standard
A dual-position film thickness monitor (FTM) measurement system monitors and terminates the coating process at a user-defined thickness. The plug-in monitoring quartz crystal and holder can be moved between the centre of the specimen stage and the outside, to accommodate different specimen sizes.
Oil-free, high vacuum pumping
CCU-010 HV has a fully integrated Pfeiffer Hi Pace 80 turbomolecular backed by a compact Vacuubrand MD1 Vario-SP membrane pump. With both contained in the main console, this oil-free pumping system delivers class-leading vacuum performance (to 1 x 10-6mbar) all in a compact instrument with a footprint of only 35 x 55cm.
Rotation and rotary planetary stages
CCU-010 HV includes a standard plug-in style 80mm diameter specimen stage with adjustable height and tilt angle. For specimens requiring rotation the optional RS-010 rotation stage is available. For specimens with very irregular surfaces, or for particulates and spheres, the PS-006 rotary planetary stage is recommended.
ET-010 plasma cleaning accessory
The ET-010 plasma cleaning accessory is a fully integrated option for the Safematic CCU-010 sputter/carbon coater that is designed for the pre-treatment or post-treatment of specimens in combination with a coating process. SEM specimens can be pre-cleaned to remove light surface contamination prior to sputter coating or carbon coating, without the need to breaking vacuum between cleaning and sputtering and carbon evaporation processes. Additionally,TEM carbon films can be converted from hydrophobic to hydrophilic using an air plasma.

Coating LAB option - getting the most from your coating data
Offers easy access to coating and process data. The Windows-based software allows access to all the key data - pressure, current, voltage, carbon coating and sputter coating rate, coating thickness and specimen temperature - as real-time curves. The coater is connected to a PC using an integrated USB interface, whilst Coating LAB automatically establishes a connection to the coater. Password protected tools for configuring the system and updating the firmware are included. For more details see: Coating LAB.
RC-010 remote control software - full control of the CCU-010 from a glove box
RC-010 is Windows-based RC remote control software which allows the CCU-010 to be remotely controlled and monitored, for example from a glovebox. The graphical user interface allows easy set up and selection of sputtering and carbon coating recipes and comes ready with pre-defined recipes with optimal settings for the most common metal sputtering targets as well as carbon. Connection from a laptop or computer to the CCU-010 coating system is via a USB cable.
Minimum system requirements:
Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7 SP1, Windows Vista SP2, Pentium 366 MHz or higher, minimum 512MB of RAM, screen resolution 1024x768 or higher, USB 2.0 Interface

HS-010 vacuum storage system
The HS-010 is a compact vacuum storage system that allows a second CCU-010 coating head, additional stage and sputter coater targets to be stored under vacuum when not in use.
For further information please see: HS-010 vacuum storage system
Large chamber option for samples up to 6" (152mm) in diameter
The LC-006 is a large chamber option that replaces the standard glass chamber and allows specimens up to 6” (152mm) to be coated. The chamber is made of aluminium therefore does not require an implosion guard.
A sample holder for 6” wafers is included, other holders can be fitted.
The LC-006 can be retrofitted to existing CCU-010 coaters.
