PVD Products is proud of the equipment we produce. But it’s our responsibility to have the users, whether they are in a research lab or production factory, really understand how to take care of and optimize the capabilities of these tools. That’s why we have Clark.

At a fundamental level, the specifications for a specific thin-film coating will drive the overall requirements for a vacuum deposition system. Wise choices early in the concept phase will reduce the overall cost of a coating system without sacrificing the throughput or film quality.

By researchers, for researchers There’s nothing that fuels our team’s passion more than building a custom R&D system. Our extensive background in thin film coating allows us to fundamentally understand and support the deposition process for specific R&D applications in a way that standard capital equipment manufacturers cannot.

If you look carefully at any of our equipment photos, you will find a small rubber ducky placed somewhere on the deposition tool. These ducks have become PVD's informal mascot, and we include one of our ducks with every deposition system that we ship. We often tell clients that the machine is free, but the duck costs $1,000,000! You may be wondering, what on earth do ducks have to do with thin-film deposition equipment? Well that’s a funny story.

Purchasing a new deposition system involves much more than deciding on the right process, developing performance requirements, and defining system specifications. In the end, the equipment has to GO somewhere.

When your research needs are not met by catalog options, a first impulse might be to build your own custom-made vacuum deposition system. When you “Do It Yourself (DIY)” you get exactly what you want, right? Not necessarily.

A wearer of many hats, Eric has experience in engineering, management, and sales support. As a big believer in the power of a team, Eric found PVD Products’ process very appealing from the start. Making a piece of capital manufacturing equipment involves a team effort, from engineering, test and assembly to the end user.

PVD Products is growing, and adding to our team! We have several new positions available for junior, mid, and senior levels within the nanotechnology, machinery, semiconductor industries. We are seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer, Production Floor Supervisor, Mechanical Assembly Technician, and Final Test Engineer. And what better way to learn about our company than an open house? We’re opening our facility doors for those interested in working at PVD Products to learn about PVD’s process, tour the PVD facility, and discuss their career goals. Open House: A Career with PVD Products Date: Thursday, March 9, 2017 Time: 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM Address: 35 Upton Dr Suite 200, Wilmington, MA 01887

June 10th: The University of Leeds spins off a company based on technology developed in a PVD Products PLD/MBE-2100 system using a fs laser. The group at Leeds has developed a new technique called Ultrafast Laser Plasma Implantation (ULPI). The company plans to use ULPI in a wide variety unique applications. More can be learned at the Ultramatis web site http://www.ultramatis.com/ PVD Products wishes the group the best of luck in their future work!

May 15th, PVD Products receives order for PLD/MBE 2300 from Lebedev Institute in Russia.
