A word from our CTO
About HiPIMS
“High-power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) is thin film deposition from standard magnetrons using pulsed plasma discharges, where a large fraction of the material used in the deposition process arrives at the workpiece as ions instead of commonly used neutrals. The benefit of having an ionized deposition flux is that it can be guided and manipulated by electric and magnetic fields. This allows for increased control of the properties of the coatings.”

Associate Professor in Plasma and Coatings Physics

HiPIMS Technology
HiPIMS is a thin film deposition technique using pulsed plasma discharges from standard magnetrons, which ionizes the material flux. The benefit is that ions can be guided and manipulated by electric and magnetic fields, leading to superior film performance.
