In the vacuum coating industry, equipment upgrading is often understood as adding more cathodes, increasing power capacity, enlarging the chamber, or improving the level of automation. These upgrades can indeed improve production capacity. However, in real production projects, the success of an e...
In the manufacturing of varistors, ceramic capacitors, and related ceramic substrates, terminal electrode metallization has long been a critical process that directly determines product performance, cost structure, and consistency. Traditionally, the industry relies on silver paste transfer print...
Vacuum coating technology is widely recognized for its environmental friendliness, high efficiency, excellent film uniformity, and superior film density. In industrial applications, vacuum coating equipment is generally classified into two main categories: Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) and Chem...
Over the past decade, millimeter-wave (mmWave) radar has evolved from a niche sensor in a few high-end vehicles to a critical perceptual infrastructure in intelligent vehicles. From adaptive cruise control (ACC) and automatic emergency braking (AEB) to increasingly prevalent high-speed navigation...
In the electronics manufacturing sector, the conductivity and reliability of ceramic capacitors and resistors are critical determinants of product lifespan. Traditionally, the industry has relied on electroplating silver or silver paste screen-printing to build a 20μm thick silver layer, ensuring...
As the PCB industry continues its evolution toward high-density interconnect (HDI), IC substrates, and advanced packaging technologies, the micro-drill has become a critical processing tool whose precision, durability, and stability directly affect production efficiency and product quality. Drive...
In advanced vacuum coating processes, precise control of thin film composition is essential to achieving the desired optical, mechanical, and functional properties. Multi-target switching, a technique widely applied in PVD, magnetron sputtering, and ion-assisted deposition systems, plays a critic...
Continuous production in vacuum coating environments presents unique challenges that directly affect equipment stability, process repeatability, and thin film quality. In high-throughput PVD, magnetron sputtering, ALD, or PECVD lines, maintaining consistent deposition parameters over extended ope...
Preface: From Interconnects to Micron-Level Challenges
With the rapid advancement of 5G communication, AI servers, and advanced packaging technologies, PCB (Printed Circuit Board) manufacturing has evolved into a high-density, microvia-driven platform. The adoption of HDI boards, multilayer PCBs,...
In vacuum coating technologies, high-reflective (HR) and low-reflective (AR) thin films present distinct challenges and requirements that directly influence equipment design, process control, and deposition strategies. While both types of coatings rely on precise control of film thickness, stoich...
In vacuum coating technologies, the presence of residual gases within the deposition chamber can significantly influence the structural, optical, and mechanical properties of thin films. Whether in PVD, magnetron sputtering, ALD, or PECVD processes, residual gas species—including water vapor, oxy...
In modern vacuum coating production, high-load operational conditions present significant challenges to the stability and consistency of thin film deposition. As demands for high throughput, large substrate sizes, and multi-layer complex coatings increase, vacuum coating systems—whether PVD, magn...
In modern vacuum coating technologies, the optical performance of thin films is intrinsically linked to the composition and quality of the target material used in deposition processes. Whether in PVD, magnetron sputtering, or advanced ALD and PECVD systems, the target serves as the fundamental so...
In physical vapor deposition (PVD) and related vacuum coating processes, film purity is often simplistically associated with the intrinsic purity of target or source materials. In practical production, however, the final purity of a deposited film is determined not only by material composition, b...
In vacuum coating processes, the deposition rate is one of the key parameters determining both production efficiency and film properties. However, excessively high or low deposition rates can directly impact film quality, thereby affecting its optical, electrical, and mechanical performance. Stri...
