Linear ion sources have been slowly adopted in the vacuum coating technology arena for over 15 years. Still, a large section of the industry could benefit from the introduction of ion source technology for surface treatment and coating.

The main industrial-based application has been for substrate pre-treatment to promote the adhesion of coatings onto plastic and glass.

However, although current uses in industry may be limited, uses for R&D and process development are varied and have great potential. The ion plasma beam can be used for many different applications including: pre-cleaning, etching and texturing of surfaces to ion beam deposition, and ion assistance of coatings.

Gencoa have developed the IMC75 to fit into typical R&D sputter and evaporation systems. Like Gencoa magnetron sputter cathodes, the IMC75 is robust and has advantages over similar products on the market in that it requires little maintenance and doesn't produce contamination.
