Cowritten by Alicat; Mitchell Hsing, Ph.D., CEO & Co-Founder of Inchfab; and Parker Gould, Ph.D., CTO & Co-Founder of Inchfab Background: Nanoscale fabrication systems & Inchfab The increasing demand for computing power over the past 60+ years has led to exponential increases in both device complexity and production volumes. To keep up with this demand, […]
Placing pressure control devices upstream of the chamber in vacuum coating applications saves time, cost, and increases accuracy in vacuum deposition tools.
The XpressStick™ MFC Gas Stick MDC Precision has designed is an all-in-one solution, eliminating complex hardware specification in a combination of specialty gas, pressure, precise regulation, and vacuum processes. Its easy programming and precise gas control system allows users to go from bottle to process in one simple step. Designed to meet ultra-high purity process […]
While anodizing and bluing prevents corrosion, it doesn’t strengthen the surface much and can scratch off. Chrome plating has been an alternative, but chrome-6 is toxic, and can still wear, pit, and spall. Vacuum deposition system manufacturer, Duralar, wanted to develop a fast, diamond-like coating process using physical vapor deposition that’s harder and more durable […]
