Sputtering/Coating

As additional functionality and miniaturization are progressing with components and end devices, coatings are becoming more critical. We offer a variety of metal coatings, including:

• Evaporation coating
• Magnetron sputtering
• Reactive PVD coating
• Electro plating
• Spray coating

These coatings are applied to all types of substrates, whether it is a selective area or the continuous coating of:

• Piece parts
• Micro components
• Flat substrates
• Foils
• Wires

Depending on the product’s application, the coating could be dense, porous, and even multi-layered. For example we could apply a micro-porous coating that lowers the impedance, and cover it with a protective layer that prevents oxidation and aging. Another possibility is covering areas of a stimulation electrode with an electrical insulation. Some of our typical coatings are:

• Titanium Nitride
• Iridium Oxide
• Porous Platinum
• Platinum
• Gold
• Ruthenium Oxide
• Tantalum Oxide
• Titanium
• Carbon

Coating Development
This list is of course not finalized, but like our technology, it is continually being developed and improved. We have a specialized team that searches for new coatings while simultaneously modifying our existing ones.  This includes an ongoing customization of the coating characteristics to fit the specific needs of your component and its application.

Our in-house access to analytical capabilities, such as metallographic cross sectioning, SEM, impedance spectroscopy and other electrochemical analysis tools, help to make the development cycle quicker and more efficient.
