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
