process optimization and industrialization.
Thin-film technology creates innovative, material-efficient applications ranging from thin solar cells and membrane materials to flexible displays and electronics. Additional specialisms are required to be able to produce market-ready thin-film products. We provide support with material knowledge, process optimization and industrialization. For example, we have mastered deposition techniques (ALD, PLD) for manufacturing thin films and processes such as lacquering, welding, laminating and cutting for processing thin-film products. Furthermore, we develop handling and quality inspection solutions. We also assist companies in adapting their production processes to new developments.

"we invest all of our energy in creating vacuum."
We have broad experience with (ultra-high) vacuum. Our specialisms are cooling (when there is no heat conductivity or heat flow) and lubrication (when air bearings are not permitted). We develop solutions designed to extract heat from the system and are knowledgeable about suitable lubricants. If necessary, we provide for a separation between the ‘contaminated’ and ‘clean’ vacuum.
