Flexible Sputtered Coatings

Roll-to-roll thin film coating processes present a number of challenges when coating flexible surfaces, one of the challenges is stress. Balancing the stress between the two sides of the substrate and stress build up from many layers. This stress concern limits the thickness and complexity of the coatings achievable. To address this challenge, DSI utilizes their MicroDyn® batch coating technology. Using their MicroDyn® magnetron sputtering batch process, DSI can create complex coatings as thick as 10 µm, composed of hundreds of layers. DSI’s flexible sputtered coatings can be developed using a wide range of materials on a broad selection of substrates.

The company’s unique innovations for coating flexible substrates enable higher performing thicker coatings, increased layer count, higher durability, and optimization. DSI’s flexible coating applications include Sunshade Thermal Control Film for Protection of Satellite Communication Equipment, Metallization, Semiconductor multilayers, Oxide and Nitride multilayers, and Patterned coatings.More products
