General Information

The OCTOPLUS 800 allows the MBE growth on multi wafer 3 inch or single wafer 6 inch or 8 inch substrates. It exhibits 12 large source ports for high capacity effusion cells, valved crackers and other sources. Depending on the application, the substrate manipulator applies to Graphite, SiC, free standing tungsten or tantalum heaters with PBN diffusor plate. The OCTOPLUS 800 MBE system offers highly reproducible sample quality, it is field-proven and ideally suited for III/V, II/VI and other compound semiconductor layer growth for applications in production of semiconductor devices.
