Intevac Receives Deposition System Order from Display Manufacturer

Intevac Inc. says a new, Tier 1 display customer has ordered a VERTEX physical vapor deposition system, used to provide enhanced scratch protection on mobile device displays, camera lenses and glass covers.

Scheduled to ship in the fourth quarter, the system was developed through the use of small-substrate processing and protective coatings from the hard drive media market, offering a high-throughput manufacturing solution with precise thin-film deposition on small substrates.

Intevac provides products for thin-film equipment and photonics markets, including digital sensors and camera systems for the defense industry.
