Upcoming Coatings Seminar in Minneapolis
[b]COATING PROCESS FUNDAMENTALS SHORT COURSE[/b] June 8-10, 2010; University of Minnesota; Minneapolis, MN This course provides coating engineers and their colleagues with an understanding of the principles of the many processes by which liquid coatings are applied and solidified. The course i

RE: ion source use life
Hi Rudy, what kind of ion source is it? If its a linear ion source with a metal based anode / cathode then they can sputter quickly. We use a carbon based anode and cathode that sputters at a low rate as the sputter yield of carbon is so low compared to metals. This gives a very long life-time. Derm

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
