In the etching world, it is a very chemical-laden, nasty environment, where sturdy coatings are required to withstand the abuses of it all. At Semixlab we've created the next generation of CVD coatings focused on the highest performance in the most challenging environments such as these. Our coatings deliver a variety of attributes that extend the life of etching equipment, such as increased wear resistance, improved corrosion protection, better adhesion, superior lubricity and greater thermal stability for more consistent and even etch results.
Long lasting wear durability with increased thickness
Extended Lifespan – Enhanced wear resistance of our CVD coatings ensures tools and parts will live longer in punishing etching environmentsMFPECVD_FOCUS By creating a protective layer over the material, our coatings protect against abrasion by friction and aggressive chemicals. The extended life of our steel linings also means less replacement and more consistent performance, ultimately saving our customers time and money.
Excellent chemical resistance in all but the most aggressive chemical environments
Under harsh chemical conditions, corrosive attack can rapidly deteriorate materials and cause performance failures. Our CVD coating offers exceptional corrosion resistance as it forms a barrier that protects the base material from aggressive molecules. This protection extends the life of tools and parts, and it also preserves the performance integrity of the tools and components even under the harshest etching conditions. With our coatings, clients can trust in consistent performance and longevity, even in the harshest of areas.
Enhanced adhesion and inhibition of delamination in severe etch environment
Adhesion between the coating and substrate is also an important aspect of performance and durability. Our CVD coatings are also specially designed to enhance adhesion, for less propensity of delamination in aggressive etch environment. So, our coatings bond tightly to the substrate, not running like so much paint down the walls of your factory or floor, even while fighting back the ravages of all manner of harsh chemicals and high temperatures. This increased adhesion balances tool performance and life, and ensures superior performance in the critical etching environment.
Higher lubricity for more even cuts and less scratching.
During Etch uniformity and smoothness are critical for good results. Our CVD coatings provide extra lubricity, which allows the tool to slide across the substrate, promoting even, smooth chemical etching. Such enhanced lubricity has been found to improve the etching quality as well as productivity and efficiency. With our product, you'll work less, but will get more in return: excellent level of detail and much less effort.
Higher thermal stability for more process stability and performance
Thermal stability must be preserved to ensure reliable and optimized etching. Our CVD coatings have improved thermal stability, which contributes to increased heat and thermal shock resistance of tools and parts exposed to high temperature and thermal cycling in etching processes. Such increased thermal stability not only improves process control, but it also tends to promote higher and more consistent etch rates. With our coatings, customers can be confident that their performance will be consistent and predictable, even under the most extreme thermal conditions.
In summary, Semixlab's CVD coatings provide several advantages for it's use in the harsh etching environments. From Anti-wear properties continues rust prevention  increased bond strength, reduced friction,  to thermal stability, our coatings area engineered to address the needs of the etching process. With the coatings of Semixlab customers receive a smoother and more even etching, tools and parts last longer, and reliability and economy of the whole process will be increased. Our cutting edge coatings mean our customers can be assured of excellent performance and durability, even against the toughest etching situations.
