Ion beam sputtering system for high precision optics
Vacuum system is equipped with RF ion-beam sputtering source, RF ion-beam source for cleaning and assisting, RF neutralizer. Broadband and Single Wave optical monitoring system allows to perform the technological processes in full-automatic mode and increases the system yield significantly. Using of dry (oil-free) pumping system, ultra-high vacuum coater design as well as load-lock vacuum chamber with robotic arm for substrates loading allow to reach maximal purity of the technological processe.
