MRC Systems – 903 and 943
Truly the first generation of production in line sputtering systems. The first system was manufactured in 1972 with over one thousand shipped. Once considered the industry workhorse for applications ranging from semiconductor manufacturing to hard coating for cutting tools, this system was highly configurable for nearly any application but also robust and reliable for high volume production work. Materials Research Corporation (MRC) terminated its manufacture of the 903/943 system in 1986 so many companies have been offering rebuilds of these older machines. Today, SCT will manufacture a brand new replicant system, configure it for your application specific and support the machine throughout its life.
