scia Systems - Equipped for Precision

scia Systems develops and manufactures equipment with complex plasma and ion beam technologies for ultra-precise surface processing. The systems are applicable for coating, etching and cleaning processes, especially for the MEMS, microelectronics and precision optics industries. Due to their flexible and modular design, the process equipment can be configured according to customer specific requirements, for research applications as well as high volume production in either a "cluster" or "inline" configuration.

Our wide range of processing technologies includes etching processes, like Ion Beam Trimming, Ion Beam Milling and Reactive Ion Etching as well as coating processes such as Ion Beam Sputtering, PECVD and Magnetron Sputtering.


 Products

  • scia Mill 200
    System for full surface ion beam etching and milling of substrates up to 200 mm. A typical application is the structuring of complex multilayers of various materials....

  • The scia Mill 200 is designed for structuring of complex multilayers of various materials. For an exact process control different end point detection systems can be equipped.
