PVD DEPOSIT

Physical Vapour Deposition

Used as a substitute for aluminium reflectors, PVD coating is now at the heart of LED optical systems.

Thus, to obtain an optimization of the cost of the overall optical system.

PVD pretreatment

In order to meet market demands, Marmillon ensures the complete production of reflectors: from co-design to finishing.

To do so, Marmillon investigates and invests in total control of the different phases of PVD treatment.

Surface preparation, or plasma pretreatment, is an essential step and has led to significant R&D advances in applied recipes.

PVD treatment by evaporation

Our aluminium coating is produced by the evaporation technique. A proven process with economic advantages (see data sheet no. 1 “Aluminium deposition: Optical Aluminium coating”).

PVD sputtering treatment

The magnetron sputtering technique is used for high-performance metal, conductor and semiconductor coatings.

Inside a vacuum chamber, a plasma is generated between the target and the plastic parts.

An innovative process that is booming in premium markets and is at the heart of our R&D approach (see technical data sheets No. 2 and No. 3 “Silver deposit: Optical Silver coating” and “Semi-reflective or nano-metallization deposit: Partial reflecting coating”).

PECVD processing

Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapour Deposition is designed to protect the PVD layer against oxidation and aging. A final layer is added in the same vacuum cycle.

This barrier deposit is the guarantee of the good behaviour of the products over time, and its optimisation is the object of our R&D approach.
