Ramya Chandrasekaran, PhD, heads our work in the 1,700 square-foot Application Lab located in our Hingham, Massachusetts design and manufacturing center. The lab helps customers evaluate a wide range of thin-film issues, including:
- New applications and processes
- Material characterization
- Substrate surface pretreatment
- Film and substrate temperature and thermal load analysis
- Outgassing properties, wear and tear, and lifetime efficacies of parts and components
- Reliability, throughput, and cost of ownership
The lab features our Hyperion Optical Coating System outfitted to support a variety of thin film processes:
- Thermal and electron beam evaporation
- Magnetron sputtering
- Filament evaporation
A full suite of process control and metrology instrumentation is dedicated to process development, and includes:
- Dynavac Spectrum Pro Broadband Optical Monitoring System
- Quartz crystal monitoring
- Residual gas analyzer
- Surface profilometer
- Spectrophotometer
- Optical microscope
