 Process
Materials is a full-service Thin Film Materials provider. We offer
high quality products designed for the vacuum industry. These products
include metals, alloys and ceramics in any customer designed configuration.
Our company provides product design, CAD/CAM and full traceability/analysis
of materials. Our materials can be fabricated to fit all commercial
or custom designed systems.

Manufacturing
|
Process
materials provides a distinct advantage for its customers in terms of product
control. Refining, melting, hot pressing, hot isostatic pressing
(HIP'ing), machining, inspection and packaging are provided through our
facilities. Our processing methods allow us to offer standard and
custom vacuum deposition material that assure complete process and quality
control. One example of product manufacturing is alloy casting.
Beginning with the base material, we use a filter step to eliminate non-metal
particles, such as oxides, which can cause sudden energy discharges during
the sputter process. Our heat treatment process guarantees a homogenous
structure. Alloy element assures the end user a consistent process
quality and the best possible thin film characteristics.
|
 Targets
are machined on an automated CNC-controlled process system to maintain
the dimensional stability and surface quality of the material. This
process is controlled by a statistical measurement system. Our target
production facilities are designed for maximum flexibility to assure that
products conform to the exact specifications of every customer.
|
Quality
Assurance
|
Raw
materials enter a dedicated receiving area where they are verified for
conformance to purchasing specifications prior to preparation. At
this point, they are prepared for the appropriate manufacturing process.
Process Materials produces every order with proven techniques, flexible
capabilities and the finest fabrication, measuring and testing equipment.
|
Analysis
of materials include glow discharge mass spectrometer (GDMS) testing for
trace elements, atomic absorption testing for major contaminates within
the metal and c-scan testing for bond integrity. All targets
are engraved with a lot number that is fully traceable to the original
melt/source.
|
Cleaning,
Packaging & Documentation
|
All
materials are cleaned and packaged to customer specifications in a CFC-free,
class 100 clean room. Products are heat-sealed and vacuum/back filled
with an inert gas. All product shipments include a Certificate of
Analysis and Material Safety Data Sheet.
|
Materials
are produced to our standard specifications unless directed otherwise by
the customer.
