Custom-designed to enhance coating quality
and streamline throughput
Optimizing for your specific application
The carousel is a central and vital part of most coating systems, and its design can have a major impact on the quality of coating and ease and efficiency of operation – as well as the overall throughput.
This is why Thin Film Service places a great deal of attention on designing and optimizing the carousel for the specific needs of the user’s coating and application.
Examples of our specially-optimized carousels…

Optics
Typically used for optics. Substrate not biased. For PVD only. Four positions. Hollow center shaft contains an optical monitor system to measure/validate deposition in situ.
Temp Control
This high-end carousel provides precise temperature control and optical uniformity. Substrate can move up and down to vary distance to source. Substrate can be heated or cooled. Substrates may be grabbed and offloaded onto a loading arm.
RF Biased
This often-used RF-biased
carousel provides
four satellites and allows
for 150mm vertical
