The Trion Orion II is a Plasma Enhanced Vapor Deposition (PECVD) system with a vacuum loadlock that produces production-quality films on a compact platform.  Using the loadlock, dopants can be used on the PECVD films. The unique reactor design produces low stress films with excellent step coverage at low power levels.  The PECVD has many input parameters that allow control over various material properties, including permittivity, refractive index, surface roughness, surface conductivity, and extinction coefficient.
