  • Dual crystals
  • Cool Drawer crystal holder
  • No internal cables
  • Crystal shutter

Easy Rate Dual Sensor

Simple and inexpensive solution for QCM applications where one crystal may not be enough.

  • Dual crystals
  • Low in price, high in quality
  • Front load crystal holder
  • Includes crystal shutter

UHV Bakeable Sensor

Offer proven reliability and durability and have the best thermal stability of any sensor head on the market.

  • High temperature braze & welded construction
  • Bakeout temperatures to 450° C
  • Crystal shutter (option)
  • Front load crystal holder

ALD Sensor

Repeatability, Precision, and Durability of quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) measurement to atomic layer deposition (ALD).

  • Operating temperature up to 450°C
  • Gas purge line keeps back of crystal free of depsotion material
  • Welded Conflat flange (CF40) option
  • O-ring compression fitting option

Sputtering Sensor

Designed for use in any sputtering process.

  • Gold plated beryllium copper sensor body and cooling tubes for maximum cooling efficiency
  • Magnet to deflect free electrons away from the monitor crystal
  • Easy installation with bendable water tubes allowing flexibility in sensor placement
  • Rear load crystal insertion for easy crystal replacement

CrystalSix® Sensor

CrystalSix Sensor is critical for long processes demanding continuous rate control.

  • Holds 6 crystals with robust, automatic switching to maximize process uptime
  • Stable crystal temperature, because crystal switching is pneumatically-driven (competitive units use heat-generating motors)
  • 1/8″ tubes maintain thermal stability and allow flexibility in sensor placement
  • Optional crystal shutter available

RSH-600 Rotary Sensor

Designed for demanding processes, employing very thick films and several different materials.

  • Six crystals
  • Position feedback (Controller dependent)
  • Adjustable length (with optional flange)
  • Rugged design

Crystal 12® Sensor

Replaces its crystals automatically without interrupting your process, when partnered with the INFICON IC6 Thin Film Deposition Controller

  • Holds 12 crystals with robust, automatic switching to maximize process up-time
  • Easy-to-remove carousel allows fast replacement of all 12 crystals
  • Stable crystal temperature, because crystal switching is pneumatically-driven (competitive units use heat generating motors)
  • Easy-to-remove front deposition shield protects the crystals and carousel from material accumulation, minimizing the need to remove entire sensor for maintenance
