Intevac Inc. has introduced the INTEVAC MATRIX thin-film processing platform, which the company says it specifically developed to address multiple applications in the vacuum coating industry.
The company says MATRIX is enabled by a carrier-based transport system that can accommodate various size substrates. The system can be configured with multiple thin-film deposition technologies for in-line sequential processing; enables double-sided deposition without breaking vacuum; and can deposit in both horizontal or vertical substrate orientation, the company adds.
"INTEVAC MATRIX enhances our core capabilities in high-throughput deposition technology with a substrate independent platform that provides versatility for broader applications of thin-film deposition," says Wendell Blonigan, the company's president and CEO.
