Shield Cleaning and Reclamation Services
VEM's Shield Cleaning & Reclamation facility located in Dallas, Texas, provides chemical and physical cleaning, robotic TWAS and flame spray, clean room for inspection and packaging and capability to work with both precious and non-precious metals.... More Info Less Info




VEM's Dallas, Texas, facility provides precision parts cleaning and surface treatment of PVD shield kits, as well as other process kit types, for manufacturers in the semiconductor, photonics, LED, data storage, aerospace & defense and life sciences industries. In addition to automated robotic controlled Twin Wire Arc Spray (TWAS) and Plasma Spray capability, the facility includes equipment for ultrasonic cleaning, clean room drying, bake out, new cleaning processes, and a clean room certified to Class 100.
The Twin Wire Arc Spray is a leading-edge technology that increases mean wafer between clean (MWBC) by applying enhanced, textured coating on critical chamber components. The textured coating provides increased surface area of the parts and allows more material to be deposited as well as better deposition adhesion for better particle control. The Plasma Spray system allows for the ability to coat chamber components with high purity ceramic films, such as Al2O3 and Y2O3 to extend part life and improve surface cleanliness of parts.


High Purity Au & Pt Evaporation Materials

Due to our substantial volume business, Vacuum Engineering & Materials is able to offer the most competitive pricing and availability for our proprietary, high-purity Au and Pt evaporation materials for compound semiconductors.... More Info Less Info







VEM leads the way with our Ultra-Pure Au Gold (UP AuTM) evaporation materials - manufactured using high-purity, sourced materials.  Our proprietary process for manufacturing Gold (Au) evaporation materials minimizes spitting by reducing carbon and other contaminants resulting in improved yield and increased production uptime.  VEM Ultra-Pure Au elemental and composite evaporation materials are available in a variety of industry standard volumes and sizes.

Vacuum Engineering & Materials supplies a variety of high quality elemental and composite evaporation materials in a full range of purities and dimensions to suit any customer needs. We provide precious metals (Gold Au, Iridium Ir, Palladium Pd, Platinum Pt, Rhodium Rh, Ruthenium Ru and Silver Ag) as well as non-precious thin film materials. All pellets are available in 0.250" x 0.250" or 0.125" or 0.125" and we also supply custom sizes tailored to your unique requirements. VEM can supply by the gram, kilogram, troy ounce, pound, pellet, granules, shot, slug, spool and starter source in any of our available purities. Let us know the material dimensions, composition, and purity, and we will deliver to your requirements. We stock frequently requested evaporation materials.
