Precise, reliable Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD)

The Dynavac DLC Coating Series provides precise, reliable Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) systems for a host of commercial and military applications, from barcode scanner windows and medical instrumentation to infrared scopes. Our DLC deposition systems produce smooth, ultra-resilient films that offer unparalleled protection against wear, abrasion, and impact coupled with outstanding chemical resistance.

Dynavac DLC series highlights

  • 24-inch diameter chamber allows for flexibility in substrate sizes
  • PECVD process using 13.56 MHz excitation and auto-tuning network
  • DLC films with unparalleled protection against wear, abrasion, and environmental conditions
  • Deposition occurs at a constant rate set by plasma parameters with film thickness controlled by deposition time
  • Automatic process with easy-to-use recipes
