Need cosmetic spec that covers PVD deposited gold on optics Is there a MIL or ISO spec that addresses cosmetic defects (scratches, voids, etc) on PVD deposited metal coatings (specifically solderable perimeter metals) on optical components? MIL-13830B and ISO 10110 only cover optical coatings. There are all manner of specs for electrodeposited (plated) RE: How sputter rare earth metals The rare earth material should sputter like any other element. BUT some of the rare earths, such as cerium, are very oxygen active so they will form thick oxide coatings which means pre-conditioning (pre-sputtering, sputter cleaning) of the target may be a problem. A bigger problem may be the cost o How sputter rare earth metals What is method for sputter rare earth metals? RE: second hand metallizer I need more information: purpose? what kind of metal(s)? what is sputtering source? Pleace send information to ferrivatt@gmail.com RE: Vacuum loss with radiant heater. For more information on plasma cleaning search on glow bar plasma cleaning. RE: Vacuum loss with radiant heater. If using a DC diode discharge the pressure will have to be above 10 mTorr or so to establish a plasma. The wall sheath then accelerates ions to the surfaces which then "scrubs" the surfaces of adsorbed molecules such as water. If you use air as the plasma gas the oxygen will react with hydrocarbons RE: Vacuum loss with radiant heater. Thank you for your response, Is it more effective to run the plasma discharge when the vacuum preasure is higher? Therefore allowing the vacuum to recover before another period of discharge? RE: Al evaporation on Polymer surface 1b: if there is gas scattering there will be a less dense film. LiF: Ref: Ionization-assisted deposition of LiF electron-injection layer for organic light-emitting diodes, Kuniaki Tanaka, Miyuki Amou, and Hiroaki Usui, J. Vac. Sci. Technol. B 22, L1 (2004). They found that LiF deposited as island RE: Vacuum loss with radiant heater. The culprit is probably water vapor. The radiant heat caused the water vapor to desorb. To eliminate water vapor run a DC plasma discharge that desorbs the water vapor. Then pump down. i.e. pump - desorb - pump. DMM > Read More Forum Posts |
