[labnetwork] Experience with Angstrom E-Beam Evaporators?

[Gabriel Catalano]

Thank you to all who sent feedback on the e-beam evaporators, we have a lot of great info now on Angstrom, AJA, KJL and CHA to help inform our purchase. All these vendors received positive reviews, but I think we have enough distinguishing information make our decision. Looking forward to meeting many of you at UGIM 2026!

Regards,
Gabe

Subject: [labnetwork] Experience with Angstrom E-Beam Evaporators?

Hello All,

We are in the process of procuring a new E-Beam evaporator and considering options from Kurt J. Lesker, AJA Internation, and Angstrom Engineering; the pricing between all three vendors is comparable. We have lots experience using and maintaining KJL and AJA systems, but do not have much exposure to Angstrom Engineering's systems. We are curious for other nanolabs experience with these tools, particularly from a maintenance prospective. We plan to use this tool for both metal and oxide depositions. Any feedback or thoughts on Angstrom's E-beam systems is very much appreciated!

Kind Regards,
