planarRIE is an anisotropic plasma etching system that is designed to deliver optimum performance at low cost with high degree of process repeatability. It can handle wafers up to the size of 100mm (or 4 inches) in diameter. Depending on how it is configured, the system can be used for etching of oxides, nitrides, polymers, silicon, and III-V compounds. The system can accommodate a wide range of process gases. Standard are 3 mass flow controllers for precise control of gas flow rates with 1 more slot available for future expansion.

The planarGROW series of thermal CVD systems for graphene (and CNT growth with minor modifications) is a horizontal hot-wall reactor system. We offer three standard system configurations (planarGROW-2B, planarGROW-4S, and planarGROW-6E) as shown in the table below. However, each of these standard systems can be customized to the user's specific application requirements. planarGROW-4S PRODUCT SPEC (GRAPHENE CONFIGURATION) QUARTZ TUBE & FURNACE - Tube Dimensions: ф1001200mm - Furnace Body (WxHxD): 500x500x350 - Heater: Kanthal Wire w/ Glass Wool Molding - Maximum Temperature: 1,100°C - Thermocouple: K type, ID 6.5 mm - Heating Zone: 1-zone, ф100350mm - Linear Motion Control Unit - Manual Furnace Door GAS SUPPLY UNIT - Three (3) Celerity TN2900 Mass Flow Controllers o Hydrogen (H2), 100sccm o Methane (CH4), 200sccm o Argon (Ar): 1,000sccm - Open Mounting Bay for Fourth (4th) MFC - ¼" Stainless Steel Tubing - Five (5) ¼" Pneumatic-Type Diaphragm Valves VACUUM & PRESSURE CONTROL UNIT - Atovac CG201 Convection Gauge - Atovac CG2000 Convection Gauge Controller - Atovac ACM200, 10 Torr Capacitance Manometer - Atovac ATV1000 Motor-Geared Throttle Valve - GPC3000 Pressure & Flow Controller - WSAutoma W2V40 Rotary Pump (400 liter/min) SYSTEM CONTROL UNIT - MS Windows XP Pro Embedded PC o Intel 3.0Ghz Core2Duo, 2GB Memory - PLC Module with National Inst.

This GUI allows full control of each system parameter, allows the user to load and save custom growth recipes, and enables "1-click" unattended operation via an auto process feature. The planarGROW-4S is equipped with a 4" (100mm) outer diameter primary quartz tube that can accommodate large sized Cu foils. During synthesis, however, planarTECH recommends using one or more smaller 1.5" or 2" outer diameter quartz tubes as carriers for the samples. This has two benefits: 1) Cu decoration will mainly affect these smaller tubes, prolonging the useful life of the primary quartz tube; and 2) it allows for growth of multiple samples in parallel. Even when using these smaller tube sizes, it is possible to grow samples on Cu foils up to 100x200mm. The figure below-left shows a typical operation cycle for graphene synthesis on a system with a standard Kanthal wire furnace. Fast run capability allows samples to be loaded at room temperature, processed and removed from the furnace after ~120 minutes. However, the actual time per run will be dependent on the recipe for graphene growth. (For example, growing large domain single crystals takes much more time than growing full coverage monolayer graphene with a smaller domain size. The default heater configuration of the planarGROW-4S is a moveable 1-zone furnace, which is controlled by the software interface. The software can be programmed such that after graphene synthesis has finished the furnace will be switched off and moved away from the samples to enable fast cooling operation as shown in the image below-right. With over 15 years of use for carbon nanotube (CNT) and graphene synthesis, the planarGROW product line has been used to synthesize the graphene with experimental results published in leading academic journals. Each planarGROW system is delivered with a standard warranty that covers all parts – excluding quartzware and O-rings – for one (1) year from the date of installation at the customer site. Any defects in materials or workmanship during the warranty period will remedied by repair or replacement free of charge. planarTECH ships each planarGROW system to the customer site by Incoterms CIP (Carriage & Insurance Paid) air freight direct from its factory in Korea. The cost of shipping is included in the base price.
