Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) encompasses a range of technologies used to produce coatings ranging from nanometers to micrometers.

Conventional PVD methods typically involve a trade-off:

magnetron sputtering sacrifices quality for throughput,
while semiconductor-grade high vacuum ion beam sputtering (IBS) sacrifices throughput for quality.




At HallTech, we significantly enhance the throughput of high vacuum ion beam sputtering, achieving cost and energy efficiency without compromising on quality.

Key Parameters

High density and/or crystallinity  coating

Our technology allows for production of high density or crystallinity coating on:

​

​

cold substrate

there is no need for high temperature substrate to compact the coating

​

​

insulating or thick substrate

there is no need for external bias or plasma sheath bias to accelerate ions and compact the coating

Energy efficient

Our technology​ maximizes sputtering yield, resulting in

 

​

10x lower energy consumption

per kg of material sputtered, compared to magnetron*

​​

​

Maximized target material utilization 

​

​

Cost effective

Our technology allows to maximize the ionization of the working gas,  resulting in:

​

 

>>10x lower Ar consumption

per kg of material moved, compared to magnetron*

​

​​​​​​​

​

​

​

*normalised for the same productivity

This makes the HallTech PVD process particularly suitable for insulating material coatings and sputtering targets, where external bias or underneutralizad ion beam techniques can not be deployed.
