Discharge Voltage Variations when Switching from Pure Metallic to Poisoned Sputtering Paid Members Public
Presented by R. De Gryse, Ghent University It is commonly assumed that the Ion Induced Electron Emission coefficient (ISEE or gi) of oxides has a higher value as compared to the bare metal and one expects lower discharge voltages VD at constant current when sputtering these metals in poisoned mode.
Pattern Metallization: Selective Deposition of Metals on Polymer Films for Functional Applications Paid Members Public
Presented by Dr. Wolfgang Decker, VAST FILMS, Ltd. Selectively Metallized Films have been used in various applications. Most everybody has seen the mass mailed envelopes, using a metallized PET or oPP film with a clear window for the address. And most everybody has already devoured a food item, that was
Utilizing the Heat Transfer Roll to Dry, Cure and Temper Paid Members Public
Presented by George R. Cozzarin, Xaloy, Inc. The paper industry found the heat transfer roll, a steam drum commonly called the Yankee cylinder, to be very effective when used to drive the moisture from one-side coated paper and crepe tissue. The addition of a forced-convection hood created a conduction, convection
Multi-layer Micro-structured Films Paid Members Public
Presented by Kent Coulter, John Cernosek, and James Arps, Southwest Research Institute Material multi-functionality is a key component in the development of smaller, lighter and more powerful devices for application in a broad range of frequency dependent environments [1]. One way to achieve this multi-functionality is to incorporate structure into
Organic/Inorganic Thin Film Multi-layer on Polymer Films for Rollable OLED Paid Members Public
Presented by Jung Cho, Flex-e Materials Copper foil without adhesive on polyimide films have been widely adopted in information technology such as production of flexible printed circuits, drive IC substrates for liquid crystal display and optical pickup for hard disk suspensions. Especially, substrates market for LCD and OLED are rapidly
Oxygen Barrier Primer Provides Adhesion Under Humid Conditions Paid Members Public
Presented by Jessica Bodine, Mica Corporation Recently an oxygen barrier primer was developed to provide adhesion of base films to polymeric substrates for extrusion coating. The original primer could be run on conventional coating equipment and provided excellent adhesion and oxygen barrier for dry food applications. However, under stringent humid
Etching & Texturing Polymer Films - Different Options for Patterned Deposition or Encouraging Nucleation Paid Members Public
Presented by Charles A. Bishop, C.A. Bishop Consulting Ltd. A number of the nanotechnologies or psuedonanotechnologies depend upon controlled nucleation and growth of coatings. Often the coatings remain as a discontinuous structure or islands. It would therefore be useful to control the nucleation process to encourage a regular deposition
Prognostications for the Future of Vacuum Coating Paid Members Public
Presented by Dr. Charles A. Bishop, C.A. Bishop Consulting Ltd. Since I gave the first of these personal views of the vacuum industry (1) there have been some areas that have changed and others that have remained static and other topics have caught my attention. As before the opinions
