About this file
This is a technical requirements specification document for laboratory equipment procurement by USGS. The document specifies requirements for a carbon coating unit that must be compatible and interchangeable with the Safematic CCU-010 HV, including all parts and sputter head components.
The required system must fit on a standard 24 x 48 inch countertop and include a dry scroll or oil-free vacuum pump capable of achieving 5 x 10⁻⁵ torr in under 10 minutes. Key specifications include a thickness monitor with 0.5 nm accuracy, a rotating stage of at least 100 mm diameter that accommodates up to four 25 mm epoxy mounts or three standard petrographic thin sections (with an option for a larger stage for six thin sections), and automatic carbon thread re-threading capability. The system requires automated software with programmable recipes for the entire coating process from vacuum pump-down to deposition termination and venting. Additional requirements include modular upgrade capability for sputter coater heads, online technical assistance through TeamViewer or similar applications, initial training on system maintenance including pump and valve replacement, carbon thread inclusion with initial installation, and USGS-provided FedEx shipping labels for delivery.

Technical Requirements
Proposed unit must meet the minimum technical specifications attached, and all parts interchangeable (including sputter head) with the Safematic CCU-010 HV.
Feature Specification Total instrument footprint (including accessories)
Fit on a standard 24 x 48 inch countertop (61 x 122 cm)
Vacuum pump Dry scroll, or other oil free pump(s) that can achieve 5 x 10-5 torr in less than 10 minutes
Monitor Thickness monitor with 0.5 nm accuracy, located in an equivalent position to target samples.
Stage
Rotating stage, at least 100 mm diameter. Must accommodate up to four 25 mm epoxy mounts or up to 3 standard petrographic thin sections.
Option to purchase larger stage allowing for coating 6 standard thin sections
Target Material
Carbon thread
Automatic re-threading capability so desired carbon thickness can be achieved without breaking vacuum.
Automatic re-threading to limit user intervention, accept when carbon thread is exhausted.
Carbon thread will be included with the initial installation of the system.
Control Automated software with programmable recipes for the entire coating process, from vacuum pump down to terminating deposition after desired thickness is reached and venting the system.
Upgrades Option for modular addition of sputter coater head (such as Au, or InSn oxide targets) by user at future date, and quick exchange between carbon and sputter heads.
Support/Training
Online technical assistance and system diagnostics with instrument, through TeamViewer or other online applications.
Initial purchase will include training on system maintenance including, pump and valve replacement.
Shipping USGS to pays for shipping through our own FedEx account—we will provide shipping labels when units are ready to ship
