<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">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! <o:p></o:p></span></p>
