RE: Physics of Thermal Evaporation
There are many factors which will have an effect on the grain size of Aluminum films. You did not indicate why you require this condition. The application will possibly change some of or add to the following: My experiences in making high Ultraviolet reflecting, low scatter Aluminum films have show

RE: seeking high reflectance coating
I am not sure if you have found the company to help you. Please let us know if you have related coating service later. Hellen www.jh-vac.com

Thickness measurment question.
What are the methods of measuring the thickness of an Aluminum film on a surface? I have been told that you can measure thickness using a four point ohms meter, where would I find information on this method? Much appreciated, JKO

RE: Physics of Thermal Evaporation
Hello, I would suggest that if you are making the coating in a coating machine of average vacuum levels that the following practices may help you. Heat the glass to around 100 C to drive off water, methane and other stuff adsorbed onto the surface. If you are doing this in a bell jar, use a shutt

Physics of Thermal Evaporation
I would like some help understanding the parameters that determine the grain size of an thermally evaporated Al film deposited on a glass substrate. For example, how does the chamber pressure, deposition rate, source to substrate distance, source temperature, and substrate surface temperature affect

Biocompatibility
Does anyone have experience with the bio-compatibility of vacuum metalized coated parts?

second hand metallizer
we are looking for a second hand metallizer up 1600mm if there is any please contact or giving the details.

ion source use life
We seem to have to replace the ion source very often (every 4 wks). I was wondering if this is a normal life time or should I be looking at other factor in my process.

RE: problems with vacuum cycle
thank you for your reply Daryl and reducing the time the chamber is open seem to help with this issue.
