<p class="MsoNormal">My organization is considering purchase of a metallization tool (electron-beam evaporation and pulsed DC sputtering combination) from Angstrom Engineering (angstromengineering.com), and I wanted to solicit feedback from list members who
have experience with Angstrom’s tools. In addition to general feedback, I’m also looking for information on the following from any list members who have used or maintained Angstrom’s e-beam evaporation or sputtering tools:<o:p></o:p></p>

direct experience with that chamber geometry.<o:p></o:p></p>
