scia Systems GmbH will exhibit at Optatec 2024. From May 14 to 16, 2024, the company will present its latest process solutions for coating and structuring based on advanced ion beam and plasma technologies at the exhibition in Frankfurt am Main. The applications include the production of high-reflective and anti-reflective coatings, form error correction for X-ray and telescope mirrors, and structuring optical gratings for augmented reality (AR) glasses.

The Ernst Abbe University of Applied Sciences Jena, which is the largest and most research-intensive university of applied sciences in Thuringia, has recently acquired a scia Etch 300 system. The system is capable of producing advanced optical surfaces with anti-reflective nanostructures using a unique reactive ion etching (RIE) process. It handles flat substrates with a diameter of up to 300 mm as well as highly curved, voluminous, three-dimensional objects such as lenses, mirrors and prisms.

We proudly announce that the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), one of the longest established physical science laboratories in the U.S., has purchased a scia Coat 200 system. The customer will install his new ion beam sputtering system in its Boulder Microfabrication Facility (BMF). The state-of-the-art research laboratory supports the most sensitive research done at NIST to fabricate its next-generation microelectronic and microelectromechanical devices. The BMF will use the scia Coat 200 to deposit metals and dielectric materials as well as for the structuring of sensors and other devices.

The miniaturization of components is an unbroken trend in many industrial sectors, such as medical technology, automotive engineering, aerospace, tool and mold manufacturing as well as microelectronics. A major cost factor in the production of these components is the limited lifespan of the tools due to high wear. The utilization of dual ion beam sputtering for the deposition of nano wear resistant coatings has proven to be a pioneering solution for this.
