Sputter Coating, Physical Vapor Disposition and Vacuum Deposition
VPE specializes in production of coatings for unique applications, including sensors, anti-multi-factoring, corrosion resistance, and electrical conductivity. Coating materials include gold, platinum, chromium, titanium, copper, aluminum and nickel.
Electron Beam: Very high deposition rates may be achieved with this type of coating process.
Ion Plating: In this technique the substrate is electrically biased, often to increase coating adhesion to the substrate or to tailor the physical and electrical characteristics of the coating deposit.
Sputtering: This coating technique produces a precisely controllable stream of coating atoms that exhibit high adhesion to substrates.
Reactive Sputtering: Ambient sputtering atmospheres may be controlled to yield reactively sputtered coatings such as titanium nitride and aluminum oxide.
VPE coatings have been used in biomedical, satellites, electronics, and particle physics apparatus.
