Midsummer has developed a high speed process for manufacturing of CIGS solar cells utilising sputtering of all layers in the solar cell structure. Midsummer recently achieved a 15 per cent active area ...

This video shows SemicoreEquipment's sputtering manufacturing process. This process starts when a substrate to be coated is placed in a vacuum chamber containing an inert gas. The negative charge is ...

Thin film deposition is a vacuum technique to apply coatings of pure materials onto the surface of many different objects. The coatings are composed of a single material or layers of multiple ...

The MEGA coating system (multi-source magnetron sputtering system) enables the production of new types of metallic or ceramic coatings in monolithic, graded or multi-layer arrangements using 7 ...

Many applications use a manufacturing process known as thin-film sputtering deposition. The typical sputtering process uses an ion beam to impact the surface of a sputter material such as gold, silver ...

Thin film coatings for deep UV wavelengths are predominately produced by evaporation methods (thermal and Ebeam). Factors limiting the performance of evaporated films include surface roughness, ...

Modifying surfaces by shooting particles at them - this technique, called 'sputtering', is indispensable in surface science. However, if the surface is not perfectly smooth and regular, it is hard to ...
