Multilayer Coatings for Optical Substrates

The scia Magna series includes advanced magnetron sputtering systems designed for high-precision multilayer coatings on optical substrates, achieving (sub-)nanometer accuracy. Each system can be equipped with up to six magnetrons, allowing the deposition of complex multilayer stacks from different target materials without the need to break vacuum. The systems support the deposition of metal, oxide, and nitride layers with equal efficiency.

Equipped with automated substrate handling, the scia Magna 400 Inline, scia Magna 500 Inline, scia Magna 700 Inline and scia Magna 1200 Inline enable fully automated, recipe-driven processing. Precise, position-controlled substrate motion enables defined gradient layers and superior deposition uniformity.

Features & Benefits

  • Multilayer coating with inline arrangement of multiple process sources
  • Uniform or gradient films on optical substrates by synchronized linear movement and spin rotation
  • Up to 6 magnetron sputter sources
  • Optional surface treatment by ion source or additional ion beam source
  • Vertical substrate orientation for minimized particle load

Applications

  • Gradient multilayer coatings of mirrors for EUV
  • Multilayer stacks for X-ray mirrors for beam line and analytic applications
  • Multilayer coating for UV and VIS optics

Principle

  • Inline arrangement with 6 magnetron sputter sources
  • Linear substrate movement past magnetrons and superimposed substrate rotation
     

Technologies

Magnetron Sputtering utilizes plasma ion bombardment on a target to deposit thin films on the substrate surface.
