CMC - Continuous Micro Casting Deposition
Focuses on metals and alloys including; Silver, Copper, Indium, Tin, Zinc, Lithium, and their alloys target recoating to cut costs. Patent Pending: U.S. Application Serial No. 62/839,095
Electron beam based melting of wire to build material on exterior of target backing tubes. Low thermal impact on target backing tubes allows for materials with different coefficients of thermal expansions to be bonded directly to each other. Process can be used to re-apply target material to targets after use.
Tpd - Thermal Plasma Deposition
In parallel with CMC development, although at a slightly staggered timeline, we are developing a secondary sputtering process that would:
Reduce or eliminate sputter process arcing caused by grain boundaries
Increase process deposition rates by reducing required sputtering energies
Improve process stability by utilizing high purity materials and minimal mechanical processing
Full density materials adhered directly to a stainless-steel backing tube
Maximizes thermal conductivity by eliminating bonding layers
Improve pure metal rotary target structural rigidity
