Ion Assisted Deposition

We run two 600mm and one 750mm diameter IAD systems capable of depositing multilayer coatings up to ~100 layers. Features of the deposition systems include:

  • Multicrucible electron beam evaporation.
  • Thermal evaporation.
  • 2000 wavelength reflectance or transmittance monitoring.
  • Precision multiwavelength ellipsometric monitoring.
  • Large current, medium energy (50-250eV) inert and/or reactive gas ion beam assistance.
  • Low substrate temperature deposition.
  • On-site reoptimisation of coating design.
  • 100% water stable filters.
