PQL’s contract R&D activity has built wide-ranging experience, in thin film materials, within the team of PQL scientists and engineers; this in-depth experience is an accessible and valuable resource. Both commerce and academia engage PQL from a range of industry sectors covering Precision Optics, Photonics, Semiconductors, Magnetics and Photovoltaics. PQL conducts bespoke material trials to full thin film process development and production trials. PQL’s in-house facilities include sputter deposition systems (3 with "HiTUS" Plasma launch systems) and analytical facilities including SEM and spectrophotometer. The equipment will accommodate large (500mm dia) substrates.

PQL can be contracted to undertake design services, material trials and under confidentiality agreement be engaged with a client to do thin film material process development. Access to PQL’s thin film deposition expertise can improve time to market and reduce internal costs while minimising risk by effectively extending the capability of your own R&D resource.

Contact PQL to discuss your trial requirements, to obtain costing and turn around times.
