Conformal ALD coating of extremely shaped plastic optics

 

Atomic layer deposition is an important coating process when it comes to the functionalization of nano-/microstructured or strongly curved substrates (grids, lenses, cylinders, hoods). Plasma-assisted processes are advantageous for temperature-sensitive substrates. The structure-true growth of these layers enables uniform optical functions along the entire inner and outer surface of the plastic optics. Design know-how also results in components with uniform color impression.
