Advanced Energy manufactures DC Power Supplies for all power levels for vacuum coating. In sputtering applications, target yield, deposition rate and target poisoning are process issues that Advanced Energy Plasma Generators address.

Used with physical vapor deposition (PVD) processes: both complex metallic sputtering and in combination with a reactive gas to form thin-film dielectric layers. AE’s DC power products have been used in varied manufacturing markets, including: 

  • Semiconductor (copper, aluminum, tantalum, titanium, and newer exotic materials) 
  • Flat panel display (thin-film transistor, color filter, organic LEDs) 
  • Data storage (optical storage, magnetic storage, and combinations of magneto-optical storage) 
  • Solar photovoltaic cell (transparent conductive oxides and Si deposition) 
  • Architectural glass 
  • Advanced product applications (thin films for optics, tool coating, plastics, etc.)
