Vacuum Process Laboratory


Vacuum Process Laboratory (VPL)

  • Physical Vapor Deposition
    • Electron beam deposition: for depositing thin films onto a given substance
    • Sputter coatings: emissions mitigation and re-radiation physics films
    • Ion beam assisted deposition
    • Parylene polymer coatings
    • Glow Discharge Polymer System (GDP) and plasma etch
    • Optical Thin Films
      • Diagnostic/target systems development
      • Optical mirrors
      • Anti-reflective coatings
      • Precision beam splitters
      • polarizers
  • High purity films, offering improved control of co-deposits, faster turnaround, higher yield
  • Component Assembly
  • Cleaning Processes
    • Hydrogen vacuum firing furnace: molecular cleaning by reduction of oxides and removal of organic materials
    • UV ozone cleaner to prepare hardware for emissions mitigation and re-radiation physics films, and to remove hydrocarbons and dielectric inclusion from power flow surfaces
