What is MF or Mid-Frequency AC Sputtering?
Mid-frequency AC Sputtering has become a mainstay of thin film sputtering technologies, particularly for the deposition of dielectric or non-conducting film coatings on surfaces such as solar panels, optical glass such as telescope mirrors or rolls of plastic. It is largely replacing RF Sputtering for coating dielectrics because it operates in the kHz rather than MHz range requiring less sophisticated and expensive power sources and is a process that is adaptable to large scale applications. …
Gold is one of the most beautifully luminescent and valuable metals on Earth because of its ability to throw light, reflect energy and resist tarnishing. PVD or Physical Vapor Deposition Gold Sputtering is commonly used in the watch and jewelry industry to produce coatings that are hard and durable and won’t rub off with constant contact with the skin or clothes and lose it sheen. …
Thin Film Deposition is the technology of applying a very thin film of material onto a “substrate” surface to be coated, or onto a previously deposited coating to form layers. Thin Film Deposition equipment and manufacturing processes are at the heart of today’s semiconductor industry, solar panels, CDs, disk drives, medical implants and optical devices industries. …
