Latest Developments in Metallisation and Vacuum Deposition

• Decrease Increase

Vacuum metallisation continues to grow as an industry and, with the growth, there are developments in both the equipment and the deposition process. In addition to the normal course of development, there are, in some parts of the world, other changes over the horizon that are needed to meet new legislation. In this paper, I will detail the current status of pattern metallisation including in-register pattern metallisation, transparent barrier coatings for packaging and high-tech applications, energy reduction options for metallisers as well as vapour jet sources which may be the preferred deposition source for the future. ...cont´d
