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
11/9/2013	Ryan Pierce	Replaced oil with high vacuum oil that came with the SEM. Note that Fitterdave changed out a gasket on the argon flow valve but it still has a leak as tested by a Ryan.
10/?/2013	Ryan Pierce	Replaced HV power supply with one shipped from the manufacturer as a former refurb. New power supply works. A plasma can be maintained by adjusting gas pressure. It is definitely sputter coating. Also replaced power cord. (Note: it uses a standard extension cord. Borrowed one but it is a bit long.)
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.
