* Gas flow rate meter has a small leak, needs a new gasket.
* Changing the vacuum oil would be a good idea.
* Initial tests with welding argon showed that it worked and was sputtering metal, however maintaining a plasma seemed to use a lot of current. The former operator suggested pulsing it to burn any oxygen in the chamber out. The manufacturer suggested a short that could be remedied by a good cleaning, which was performed.

Documentation

Manual scans for the sputter coater are available, as is a manual for a similar but not identical model of the carbon arc deposition system. A location to drop them is needed.

The manufacturer was purchased by Anatech USA and they still support this product.

Maintenance Log

Date Maintainer Description
7/21/2013 Ryan Pierce Tried using this after cleaning. Vacuum could only get down to 30-40 millitorr. The power supply seemed to need excessive amperage just to maintain a plasma, and that was with low voltage. Then something inside the power supply exploded with a burning smell.
4/?/2013 Steve Finkelman Full cleaning of chamber.
