Denny,

 

We have developed the process to sputter metal and electro-coat dielectric
for small coupons with excellent adhesion and HAST performance. Yes, these
are alternate conductive and insulative layers. Our sputtering process
cannot handle 12 in x 12 in panels. So we want to work with someone who can
sputter metal on large panels to prove the process on large panels. It will
be a plus if we can electro-coat at the same facility rather than shipping
to other locations and shuttling the panels back and forth.

 

We have metal sputtering capability at our center but not on 12 in x 12 in
panels. We have come to know of off-shore facilities but are looking for
on-shore large panel metal sputtering capability. We are developing
alternate methods too.

 

Thanks.

Syed.

Did you get any hits on this posting?

 

I will tell you what I know, off line.  I am a bit confused as to what you
want to do.  First you say "sputter" which I take to be some sort of metal
(in my mind conductive).  Then you say "electrocoat dielectric".  So, to me
what you want to do is make layers of insulation and conductivity, probably
in succession.  Right?

 

Sputtering should not be too difficult if the "dielectric" does not out-gas
when drawing something of a vacuum in the sputtering chamber.  

 

There also is a Georgia Tech spin out making a business in combustion
deposited coatings -

They may be able to help with the metallic deposits, rather than sputtering.


 

As far as electrocoat dielectric - have you tried to find a company such as
PPG who makes electrophoretic paints?   They have a lot of technology in the
electrophoretic coating area.

Dear Technetters,
We have developed a process and want to prove on a mass production line and
are interested in working with someone who can sputter large panels (at
least 12 in x 12 in) and/or electrocoat dielectric on them. Any suggestions
or leads?
Thanks.
Syed.
