Advanced Process Control

Evatec production platforms integrate a range of closed loop process control techniques for improved precision and yield. 

  • Broadband Optical Monitoring for direct substrate measurement with In situ reoptimization for real time recipe adjustment during evaporation or sputter deposition.
  • Plasma Emission Monitoring for perfect stoichiometry control and higher throughputs in sputter.
  • Optical Pyrometry in evaporation and sputter processes for enhanced temperature control in IR technologies. 
  • Optics Tool Box ensures smooth integration all the way from thin film design through recipe generation and coating execution. Reduce your process development times, and increase your throughput.

Wafer Level Optics

Securing the process repeatabilities and low particle levels essential for high yield production in wafer level optics applications require fully automated cassette-to-cassette production technology eliminating all manual handling. Read more about typical applications including biometric sensing and structured filter coating supported by Evatec on our CLUSTERLINE® 200 BPM tool in our dedicated new wafer level optics brochure.

Smart Glasses

From automotive to avionics and smart device consumer applications, we support deposition of the thin films required in a range of Augmented Reality / Mixed Reality ( AR/MR) applications. The typical layers required including Waveguides, Beam splitters, TCOs, DBRs, and antireflection coatings can be deposited on a range of Evatec platforms according to application, substrate size and throughput. Evatec process know how also supports efficient handling and protection of coatings deposited on polymeric substrates.

 

 

Precision Optics

Evatec’s Advanced Process Control technologies including broadband optical monitoring support evaporation or sputter processes for a wide range of applications in the UV, VIS and  IR . Evaporation on Evatec’s range of  BAK platforms offers a flexible production solution for a wide range of 2.5 and 3D substrate geometries. CLUSTERLINE® 200 BPM platforms offer cassette-to-cassette sputter solutions and use custom cathode technologies for enhanced precision and lower particles. The highly flexible MSP completes Evatec’s mass production portfolio. From edge emitting lasers (EELS) to fibre optics, our applications team have access to 70+ years of substrate handling and process know how to support precision optics coating applications.

 

 

Functional Coatings 

Enhancing our optical and optoelectronics devices through coatings that change their colour  or protect them in daily use requires coating solutions that deliver volume and process repeatability at the right unit cost. Inline solutions like SOLARIS® deliver the color, anti-smudge and anti-scratch coatings needed.

Evatec process capabilities support other applications too, including the manufacture of CsI / TlI based scintillators for high performance digital X-ray detectors in medical applications. Evaporation solutions on Evatec's large area BAK1401 and BAV2000 box coaters with custom source technologies deliver precise stoichiometry and columnar layer structures in the films required in scintillator manufacture for digital X-ray detectors.
