A system for multiple source monitoring in MBE deposition applications

Molecular beam sources require accurate control for reproducible production quality thin film growth. Hiden’s XBS (cross beam source) system provides in-situ monitoring of multiple sources with real-time signal output for precise control of the deposition. Hiden’s XBS is a great tool used in molecular beam mass spectrometry.
