 Benefits of Osmium Plasma Coater



 
Operability Osmium Conductive Film Plasma-Polymerized
Naphthalene Hydrocarbon Film
Simple Automatic Operation
(Only need to set the thickness of the film and then push start button)
Detachable Osmium Reservoir
The sealed structure of the reservoir allows cryopreservation
Easy Confirmation of The Remaining Amount
(A small view port allows confirmation of the remaining amount of the OsO4/naphthalene crystal.)
Short Coating Time
(a few nm/a few seconds)
High Security
(An interlock circuit is equipped.)
No Granule
The osmium thin film is not granular.
The microstructure of the specimen surface can be faithfully molded.
OsO4 will sublimate before coating process.
No Heat Damage
The coating process is at room temperature. Thus, the specimen will not go through a heat process.
No Electron Beam Damage
The melting temperature of Osmium is 2700℃, whick is much higher than the ones of Pt or Pd. So osmium conductive metal coating is not damaged nor deformed by heat when exposed to strong electron beam.
No contamination
In the regative glow phase domain of the DC glow discharge, where only osmium metal molecules are positively ionized, highly concentrated positive ion osmium molecules adhere uniformly, deposit densely and form the thin layer in molecular level on the specimen which is electrically insulate.
Toughness
The film can withstand the gallium ions that used in FIB(Focused Ion Beam) system.
Heat-resistance
Insulation
No Granule
The plasma-polymerized hydrocarbon film is not granular.
The microstructure of the specimen surface can be faithfully molded.
Naphthalene will sublimate before coating process
No Heat Damage
The coating process is at room temperature. Thus, the specimen will not go through a heat process.
No Electron Beam Damage


 Principle



 
  A small amount of osmium tetroxide(OsO4)gas / naphthalene gas(C10H18) is introduced into the small gas reaction vessel that equips with an anode plate and a cathode plate.
Then, in the gas reaction vessel, when a DC glow discharge is generated under a thin sublimation gas pressure, the osmium metal molecules excited by the collision of electrons instantaneously become plasma between the two electrodes. The positive column and the negative glow phase are separated, and the blue-violet light of the negative glow phase emits.
At the same time, the positive ion metal molecules instantly adhere to the surface of the specimen, which is placed in the negative glow phase area on the cathode plate, and an osmium metal thin film/plasma-polymerized film(naphthalene) is formed.
With an osmium metal thin film on the surface of the SEM specimen, an extremely clear image can be obtained.

 The Merit of Automatic Operation

 
Our current model of the osmium plasma coater (we have manual model in the past) is fully automatc.
After placing the specimen on the sample stage, closing the gas reaction vessel and setting the thickness of the film, you can coat a film simply by pressing the start button.
Since there is no complicated manual operation, there are no artificial film thickness errors. Thus, the current automatic model has excellent repeatability and higher safety.

Preparation Place the specimen in the gas reaction vessel.
Coating Vacuuming Press the START button, then the coating process will proceed automatically.

Automatic coating procedure
1. 「Vacuuming」
2. 「Introducing Osmium gas」
3. 「Adjusting Osmium gas flow」
4. 「Controlling the film thickness(Coating)」
5. 「Releasing Osmium gas」

Since the film thickness can be set in a nm unit, the control is very simple.

Because an 
interlock circuit is equipped, the gas reaction vessel will not open if the "releasing the Osmium gas” step is not done.
Vacuum the gas reaction vessel to the specified vacuum degree, which should be confirmed visually.
Introducing the Osmium gas Introduce the Osmium gas by rotating the valve.
Adjusting the Osmium gas flow Adjust the Osmium gas flow manually by the rotary valve, while checking the vacuum degree of the Osmium gas or other indicating meters.
Controlling the film thickness
(Coating)
Since the film thickness is determined by the correlation between the current value and time of discharge, rotate the rotary valve manually to adjust the current value.
Exhausting the Osmium gas Close the valve to stop the introducing of Osmium gas, then fully open the rotary valve manually to release the gas from the gas reaction vessel.
Because this model do not have an interlock circuit, it is possible to open the gas reaction vessel without conducting the "releasing the Osmium gas" step.

 Technical data

 
OPC60A is used to coat conductive film for SEM, FE-SEM specimens.
OPC80T is used to coat conductive film for SEM, FE-SEM specimens and support film for TEM specimens. If you use OPC, you can coat osmium conductive film safety and easily.
You can operate OPC automatically.
As long as you coat osmium of a few nm in a specimen with OPC, the specimen can get enough conductivity. Because osmium conductive film can be coated extremely uniformly.
Besides osmium conductive film is no heat damage.
OPC is epoch-making equipment.
OPC80T can coat not only osmium conductive film but also naphthalene film.
Naphthalene film is non-conductive, so strong, medicine character-resistant, and heat-resistant.
Besides naphthalene film is applied as a support film.
Naphthalene film is also applied as a protective film of specimens for FIB(Focused Ion Beam Equipment).
