Our Force/Strengths

Remotely Generated Plasma:

We have independent control of all process parameters including target voltage and ion current

Low Temperature Process:

Low temperature deposition for plastic or other 'delicate' substrates

Stable High Rate Reactive Process:

Virtual elimination of target poisoning since the surface of the target is uniformly eroded.

Stress Control:

Due to our unique process we are able to control the stress if growing thin films from compressive through to tensile.

Potential for Multilayer Devices:

PQL systems have the ability to deposit multilayer without breaking vacuum

Thick ferromagnetic targets:

Ability to sputter from thick ferromagnetic targets

Substrate plasma-cleaning:

Offering enhanced adhesion performance

PQL have successfully deposited an extensive range of materials, for example:

  • Metals
    - Ag, Al, Au, Bi, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hf, In, Mg, Mn, Mo, Nb, Ni, Pb, Pt, Sn, Ta, Ti, W, Y, Zn, Zr
  • Dielectrics
    - AlN, Al2O3, PbO, SiO2, Ta2O5, NbO5, TiO2, TixO2x-1, TiN, HfO2, CuO, In2O3, MgO
    (Oxy-Nitrides and sub-oxides are also possible with PQL technology)
  • Transparent conducting oxides
    - Sn:InO (ITO), In:ZnO(IZO), Al:ZnO (AZO), ZnO
  • Magnetic materials
    - Co, CoFe, Fe, NiFe
