The ORCA low-temperature evaporation source is designed to achieve precise temperature control through a unique combination of active cooling and heating. This balance ensures exceptional stability during operation.

Constructed from high thermal conductivity materials, the crucible prevents the formation of hot spots that could otherwise disrupt the evaporation rate. Users have the option to add alumina or graphite liners, but regardless of configuration, the crucible is easily accessible. Swapping or refilling it requires no tools and can be done quickly, making maintenance simple and efficient.

For enhanced accuracy, the ORCA utilizes a K-type thermocouple embedded directly into the crucible, offering superior temperature readings compared to surface contact alternatives. The system comes equipped with a power unit and a PID controller specifically tuned for low-temperature applications.

The ORCA is compatible with various deposition techniques, including sputtering, e-beam, and thermal sources. A cooled shielding cap effectively reduces thermal cross-talk, and when used alongside the temperature gradient sample stage, it enables precise substrate temperature regulation for optimal results.
