Manufacturing Resources

Our thin film vacuum deposition tanks are constructed of stainless steel.  They are cryo-pumped, clean, oil-free and capable of pumping to 1 x 10-7 torr.

System one can roll coat webs up to 24 inches wide with three cathode capability.

System two can roll coat webs up to 48 inches wide with six cathode capability.

The main deposition drums may be heated or cooled.  The deposition systems consist of planar sputtering cathodes capable of DC and pulsed DC magnetron sputtering as well as multi-pocket electron beam sources.  The sputtering supplies include arc suppression equipment to allow easy sputtering of normally difficult materials and reactive processes. Any or all of the systems can be operated simultaneously.  Virtually any metal, alloy, semiconductor, metal oxide or nitride can be deposited in combination.

Laboratory Analysis
Our laboratory is equipped with up-to-date test instruments to verify the specified requirements of the deposited materials.  We can test the films for transmittance, reflection, optical density, absorbtance, emittance, coating thickness, electrical resistance, adhesion, abrasion resistance, accelerated weatherability, atomic oxygen resistance, flexibility, temperature cycling and burst strength.
