Company History
For over 30 years, MeiVac has been responding to customer needs for increasingly sophisticated thin film manufacturing process equipment. Its landmark RF Diode dielectric sputtering system family was developed as a high throughput batch deposition system for thick alumina layers. Over its 25 year life, it has become the industry standard for alumina deposition in the global magnetic storage marketplace.
As customer needs expanded, MeiVac developed the 602 Series cluster platform, available in one, two or three chamber configurations. This system was developed especially for applications where it is essential to provide chamber isolation, maintain vacuum between process steps and deliver higher throughputs when running a single process.
MeiVac has expanded its process development team to work with customers to optimize process and equipment performances for their specific applications. This includes the development of complete systems for unique applications.
In recent years, MeiVac has grown its Component Product Line by the addition of the popular MAK sputter sources, substrate heaters and related products that it acquired from US, Inc. and added to its existing line of high-precision vacuum throttle valves.
