XBS

A system for multiple source monitoring in MBE deposition applications

  • Model: XBS
  • Manufacturer: Hiden Analytical

Molecular beam sources require accurate control for reproducible production quality thin film growth. Hiden’s XBS (cross beam source) system provides in-situ monitoring of multiple sources with real-time signal output for precise control of the deposition. Hiden’s XBS is a great tool used in molecular beam mass spectrometry.

Applications

  • MBE monitoring and control
  • Molecular beam studies
  • Multiple beam source analysis
  • High performance RGA
  • Desorption
  • Outgassing studies
  • Bakeout cycles
  • Process gas contaminents
Category:

The Hiden XBS RC system is a quadrupole mass spectrometer designed for monitoring multiple beam sources simultaneously, and uniquely offers beam acceptance through a 70° cone, transverse to the quadrupole axis.

Beam  acceptance  apertures  are  configured  individually  for  each  specific  process  chamber  source  position, manufactured as replaceable plug-in elements to enable retrospective modification in event of chamber alteration.

Hiden RC systems are directly controlled from a PC compatible computer via RS232 or Ethernet link, providing simultaneous data acquisition from multiple systems. The RC interface unit is a 90 mm high (2U), 19 inch rack mounting unit.  It is mains powered and includes power on and filament status indicators.

Windows®-MASsoft Professional PC software provides for fast data acquisition through either user configured acquisition files or pre-set modes selected by icon.

Features

  • Fastaccess for Histogram, Trend Analysis and Analog peak 
  • Mixedmode scanning, Trend Analysis, Histogram and Analog peaks in a multi-window display for exam
  • Dataacquisition from multiple systems via Ethernet.
  • Automaticmass scale alignment.
  • Integralmass spectral library with full editing facilit
  • Dataexport facility to ASCII format and to all Windows® devices for printing/plott
  • Cursorfor peak height identification under mouse control.

The Hiden XBS RC system comprises:

  • RCcontrol interface unit, 3 m Ethernet cable and T piece
  • RFgenerator with preamplifier
  • Analyserwith integral electron bombardment ion source, precision mass filter and detector
  • 3mconnecting cables
  • Windows®MASsoft Professional PC software
