SCI gives presentation “Dual-Purpose Plasma Source for Surface Pretreatment”
SCI proudly recognizes Patrick Morse, Russ Lovro, Mike Rost, and John German for their contributions to a successful and informative presentation at the Society of Vacuum Coaters Conference in Chicago, Illinois on May 5th, 2014.
The presentation, given by John German and titled “Dual-Purpose Plasma Source for Surface Pre-Treatment and High-Rate Chemical Vapor Deposition” was well received and well attended. A similar presentation will be given at the upcoming AIMCAL Europe in Cascais, Portugal on June 9th, 2014 at 4:30 pm.
Topics in this presentation included the following:
- Descriptions of DMPTS configuration and functionality
- SCI’s experimental configuration and results
- Third-party testing of planarized substrates in an inline coater
- Performance characteristics and advantages of the DMPTS
- DMCVD theory of operation.
SCI’s dual magnetron source technology provides effective pretreatment of plastic webs prior to thin film deposition. With the addition of a precursor manifold, the source can also be used for high rate deposition of SiO2 in web or batch systems.
