Thin films obtained by standard chemical vapor deposition (CVD) typically require temperatures ranging from 600°C to 800°C. Using plasma enhanced CVD (PE-CVD) allows reactions to occur at temperatures down to 350°C. Plasma ion beam CVD (PIB-CVD) advances this process even further by allowing room temperature deposition. Without the need to heat a substrate to such… Read More

In the world of thin film deposition, there are few techniques that have the versatility of PIB-CVD. Short for plasma ion beam assisted chemical vapor deposition, PIB-CVD is a cutting-edge thin film deposition process that can be used to deposit large area multifunctional thin films with greater efficiency as well as engineer new materials. What… Read More

One of the most important requirements for precision optics is thickness uniformity of thin film coatings. Achieving a high degree of uniformity on flat optics usually requires complex motion or restricted deposition zoned, which often lowers deposition rates. For curved optics, there is no practical way to achieve the uniformity needed through a conventional thin… Read More
