Core Technologies - Barr Precision Optics and Film Coatings
Core Technologies
Materion BARR Precision Optics and Thin Film Coatings is a technology driven company that specializes in thin film optical filters and custom thin film deposition solutions. We have a broad range of deposition and support technologies that are state of the art.
Sputter
Materion has a number of different sputtering technologies at it’s disposal including:
- Ion Beam
- Pulsed & non-pulsed DC
- AC
- RF
- Diode
- Triode
- Magnetron
- Reactive
Our optical chambers can be set up for planetary or flat wheel motion. We can sputter optics up to 24” in diameter. Our non-optical chambers are highly configurable and can be set up for planetary, flat wheel or barrel mounted rotation, as well as fixed, non-motion. We have the capability to sputter planar and non-conformal part configurations up to 48 inches.
Evaporation
We can evaporate onto optical substrates up to 22” in diameter. For non-optical substrates and coatings, we can evaporate onto surfaces up to 48” in size. Several types of evaporation technologies are available:
- Ion Assisted Deposition (IAD)
- E-beam
- Thermal Evaporation
Photolithography
Materion has an extensive photolithography capability for patterning thin films.
Patterned thin film coatings may be applied to a variety of substrate materials such as polymers, composites, metals, and glass. Patterning can be applied to planar, non-planar, compound surfaces on small to large area substrates. Once patterned, Materion has the capability to deposit both optical and non-optical thin films. Substrates up to 200mm can be patterned.
