experienced vacuum processing   -    materials know-how   -    verified surface solutions



we form thin films on
challenging substrates



  • experts in reactive magnetron sputtering and evaporation
  • oxides, nitrides, fluorides, borides, and metals
  • phase development in complex compounds  
  • stress and thermo-mechanical engineering
  • interface chemistry tailoring
  • high and low temperature diffusion barriers
  • refractory compounds and metals
  • optical materials and filters

 


     
experienced in hi/lo-work-function surfaces,
catalytic layers, encapsulation coatings,
"standard" dielectrics, stabilized oxide electrolytes,
 intermetallic's, ferroelectrics, piezoelectrics, optical garnets,
conducting oxides, non-linear optical materials, and more

Now re-located in the Bay Area, we are 20-plus years,
 non-stop, hands-on, dedicated to activated reactive
 "PVD" processes and thin film development.

LOW OVERHEAD, LOW COST, HIGH VALUE
