DCT
Turbo-Pumped Carbon Coater
The DCT is a high-performance turbo-pumped carbon coating system designed for FE-SEM, EDS/WDS, TEM, EBSD, and thin-film applications. It delivers high-quality, uniform carbon films with fine grain sizes, ideal for preparing specimens with precision and reliability.

Pulsed Carbon Fiber
Evaporation
The desk vacuum carbon coater enables pulsed carbon fiber evaporation, delivering precise and controlled deposition. Short pulses minimize debris typically generated in traditional carbon deposition methods, ensuring cleaner and higher-quality coatings.
Carbon Rod
Evaporation (Optional)
The desk high-vacuum carbon coater can be optionally equipped with a carbon rod head. This setup requires an external 0-100 A high-current power supply, replacing the internal power supply designed for carbon fiber evaporation.

DCT High-Quality Vacuum Chamber
The DCT features a vacuum chamber made from cylindrical Pyrex and stainless steel. It is equipped with a 90 L/s turbomolecular pump, optionally backed by a 6 m³/h two-stage rotary vane pump, scroll pump, or diaphragm pump based on customer preference. This setup ensures a clean vacuum, free from oil contamination typically associated with diffusion pumps.
Newly Designed Sample Holder
A new 4-inch rotating sample holder with an optional gear offset is designed for the system to increase the deposition area and the number of coating stubs in a run (Customizable for max. 50×1 mm stubs).
DCT Touch Screen
Desk carbon coater is equipped with a 7” colored touch screen with full automatic control utilizing a user-friendly software to control and adjust the deposition process data. The vacuum and coating sequence information can be monitored as digital data or curves on the touch screen. The last 300 coatings information is saved on the history page and can be transferred to PC by a USB port on the device.
DCT Sample Holder
DTE deposition system enables metal evaporation in upward and downward configurations.
Upward deposition: The material is loaded in a boat source and the sample is attached to the S-Clips on the chamber lead to allow easy access.
Downward deposition: A small amount of desired material is loaded in the basket with rotating sample holder (Optional) on the baseplate.
