Every coating project presents unique requirements. Whether you need coatings on wafers, optics, glass, metals, ceramics, plastics or custom components, our team develops tailored deposition processes and fixturing solutions to achieve reliable, repeatable results. This is achieved through a combination of advanced PVD technologies, process optimization, and multilayer thin-film design.

 Coating Capabilities

Deposition Technologies

• Magnetron Sputtering
  DC/pulsed-DC (P-DC), RF, and reactive sputtering for dense coatings, excellent composition control, and film thicknesses ranging from nanometers to 20+ µm.

  High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering (HiPIMS)
  Highly ionized sputtering process producing ultra-dense films, smoother surfaces, improved step coverage, and superior coating adhesion.

  Electron Beam Evaporation
  High-purity metal and oxide evaporation and coatings compatible with lift-off and microfabrication processes.

  Secondary Energy Enhancement
  Ion-assisted deposition (IAD), plasma-assisted deposition, and controlled substrate heating to increase film density, improve adhesion, reduce stress, and enhance optical and electrical performance.

  Surface Preparation
  Plasma cleaning, ion beam cleaning, and dry etching processes that remove contaminants and activate surfaces for improved coating adhesion.

Materials & Substrates

• ✓ 1″ to 12″ Wafers
  Silicon, sapphire, glass, quartz, and specialty wafer substrates.

  ✓ Custom Chips & Devices
  Microfluidics, MEMS, sensors, and patterned thin-film structures.

  ✓ Flexible Materials
  PET, Kapton®, PMMA, polycarbonate, and other polymer substrates.

  ✓ Complex Shapes
  3D parts, curved surfaces, and custom geometries.

  ✓ Application-Specific Fixturing
  Custom holders and tooling for non-standard substrates and geometries.

Producing a coating is only part of the process. Our characterization capabilities allow us to evaluate critical coating properties such as thickness, uniformity, optical performance, surface morphology, and electrical characteristics throughout process development and production.
