Ion Beam Sputtering Coatings
Description
ECI produces thin-film coatings using a variety of different deposition methods, our most advanced deposition method is Ion Beam Sputtering (IBS). Ion Beam Sputtering produces coatings that are very dense with low surface roughness. Another advantage of IBS thin-film coatings is that they exhibit superior thermal stability. IBS coatings can withstand exposure to temperatures up to 300°C for long-term exposure and 500°C for short-term exposure. IBS coatings also exhibit lower thermal shift than other types of coatings. Typically thermal shift is < 0.5pm/°C for Ion Beam Sputtered coatings. Evaporated Coatings’ four IBS coating chambers utilize state of the art monitoring techniques to produce coatings that yield near theoretical performance. Figure 1 shows the actual performance of a filter coating when compared to the theoretical design.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ion Beam Sputtering (IBS) is a deposition method used to produce thin-film coatings that are dense with low surface roughness.
IBS coatings exhibit superior thermal stability and can withstand exposure to temperatures up to 300°C for long-term exposure and 500°C for short-term exposure. They also have lower thermal shift compared to other types of coatings.
Typically, the thermal shift for Ion Beam Sputtered coatings is less than 0.5pm/°C.
IBS can be used to produce various types of coatings, including AR (anti-reflective) coatings, dielectric mirror coatings, shortwave pass filter coatings, longwave pass filter coatings, bandpass filter coatings, and dichroic filter coatings.
ECI utilizes state-of-the-art monitoring techniques in their four IBS coating chambers to produce coatings that yield near theoretical performance.
