We need to make a sputter system to deposit thin multilayers on small
diameter parabolic mandrels. The mandrels are highly polished and we
need coatings with surface and interfacial roughness of less than 10
angstroms. These are for x-ray mirrors. See our web site at
www.parallax-x-ray.com


Your process requirements are a bit out of my league, (primary concern is
surface roughness 10 angstroms). I have access to a small sputter
deposition system that was originally built for MEMs type research and small
scale production. It is basically new, very little use and would probably
be cheaper than designing and building your own system, assuming the
configuration, instrumentation and metrology is suitable for your purposes.

The system I am referring to is similar to the "SP-2000" Click on "Sputter
Systems", then SP-2000.

My company was recently sold, however this piece of equipment was not part
of the sale. I was going to hold on to it for my own purposes, or find
someone that can use it.

If you are interested, I can get the details of the configuration, power
supplies, cathodes, instrumentation, etc. and forward them to your
company's address.
