The scia Coat 200 is designed for homogeneous coating of 200 mm substrates, such as wafers. Typical applications of the system are multilayer films for magnetic sensors or optical coatings.

The scia Coat 200 applies a beam from a focused broad beam ion source onto a sputter target. The beam of the assist ion source is directed to the substrate. By ion bombardment it is possible to control film characteristics or pre-clean the substrate.

If the system is equipped with a RF350‑e ion beam source as assist source, ion beam milling processes are also available on the same tool.

The scia Coat 500 is designed for homogeneous coating of high precision optics. Typical applications of the system are multilayer films for X-ray mirrors and filter coatings.

The scia Coat 500 applies a beam from a linear ion beam source onto a rectangular sputter target. This linear geometry provides a good homogeneity of the deposited film in one dimension. Meanwhile, the sample is moved on a linear axis in a direction perpendicular to the beam's profile, thereby contributing to homogeneity or defined gradients of the coating in the second dimension.

In addition the sample stage is equipped with a spin rotation and a changeable shaper system (up to 4  shapers) in front of the sample stage.
