- MBE system optimised for 4 inch wafer growth
- Large effusion cell capacity for increased up-time
- Flexible configurations, from topological insulators to semiconductors and metal oxides
- In-situ growth monitoring
- Reliable & fast sample transfer
- Growth process controlled by advanced software
- Designed as a module of a Materials Innovation Platform (MIP)
The PRO-75/100 MBEs are deposition tools for materials research under UHV conditions on substrates up to 4 inches in diameter. They are flexible system platforms suitable for a large range of MBE applications such as the growth of 2D materials, intermetallic compounds, oxide heterostructures or semiconductors. The PRO-75/100 MBEs include superior evaporation control software and offers multiple ports for in-situ characterisation.
The PRO-75/100 MBE systems are dedicated growth systems with a load lock chamber and with an optional preparation/storage chamber. The substrate sizes are either 3” (PRO-75) or 2” (PRO-100). The carefully designed chamber with up to 12 effusion cells shows excellent thickness uniformity for all substrate sizes.
The PRO-75/100 MBE systems are designed to fulfil the highest and most stringent requirements of modern thin film deposition. They are suitable and optimised for the growth of ultra-high purity semiconductors and related materials systems.
All PRO-75/100 MBE systems come with the MISTRAL control system together with a powerful evaporation control software. The control system is based on certified standard components for supreme reliability and provides a graphical status overview of all sensor values. With this software bundle, experiments can be conducted under well-controlled and reproducible conditions.

MISTRAL & Evaporation Control
The PRO-75/100 MBEs include the MISTRAL control system together with a powerful evaporation control software. The control system is based on certified standard components for supreme reliability and provides a graphical status overview of all sensor values. Integrated safety interlocks protect the UHV system in case of power failure or a drop in water flow.
The evaporation control software offers a powerful script editor for programming individual process recipes. Additionally, 24/7 data logging of all relevant system parameters is included.
With this software bundle, experiments can be conducted under well-controlled and reproducible conditions.
