Summary
Current and upcoming specifications for optical filters and components are driving the demand for optimized deposition techniques. Besides the need for high precision process control to achieve accurate and reproducible layer properties, additional requirements from a process automation perspective have to be considered. In particular, applications in the semiconductor industry require reliable, accurate substrate handling to microelectronic standards.
The Helios 800 sputtering system provides extremely accurate layer depositon and thickness control, allowing manufacture of state of the art optical components with high throughput. These include beamsplitters, band pass, edge, and multinotch dielectric filters. In addition optoelectronic applications, which combine electronic components with optical filters, are growing rapidly.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
