High Quality PVD Coating Machine for AR AF Phone Cover Glass with ICP Plasma
High Quality PVD Coating Machine for AR AF Phone Cover Glass with ICP Plasma
Product Overview:
SIMVACO’s upgraded PVD coating equipment is a high-precision vacuum system tailored for the deposition of AR (Anti-Reflection), AF (Anti-Fingerprint), and ultra-hard protective films on mobile phone cover glass and other high-end optical components.
Now equipped with an ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) source and Post-Oxidation module, the system provides enhanced film densification, improved adhesion, and higher optical quality. These features ensure exceptional mechanical durability, superior light transmittance, and long-lasting surface performance — all essential for premium consumer electronics.
Core Features & Technical Highlights:
🔹 Multi-Layer AR Coating System
- Advanced magnetron sputtering for multilayer dielectric films (e.g., SiO₂/TiO₂/Al₂O₃ stacks)
- Achieves visible light transmittance ≥ 93%, reflectance ≤ 9%
- Color uniformity ΔE < 1.5, ensuring consistent optical appearance
- Optimized for cover glass, lenses, and foldable substrates
🔹 AF Coating Module (Anti-Fingerprint)
- Inline plasma activation before AF coating improves adhesion
- Supports spraying or vapor-deposition of fluoropolymer-based AF coatings
- Withstands 4200 cycles of rubber eraser abrasion under 1000g load
- Maintains water contact angle ≥ 100°
🔹 Hard Protective Coating
- Optional SiNx, DLC or AlN coatings for superior surface hardness
- Passes Mohs 7 hardness test under 750g load, 90° stylus angle
- Nanoindentation hardness ≥ 14 GPa
- Ideal for anti-scratch, anti-abrasion applications
🔹 ICP Plasma Source
- Installed between substrate and target area
- Produces high-density low-temperature plasma, enhancing film densification and step coverage
- Greatly improves adhesion strength, film compactness, and barrier properties
- Especially effective for thin AF layers or high-density AR coatings
🔹 Post-Oxidation Chamber
- Inline or standalone oxidation module using oxygen plasma or thermal oxidation
- Enhances surface energy, improves transmittance and chemical resistance
- Critical for final tuning of AR or hydrophilic properties
- Promotes stable, stoichiometric oxide formation (e.g., SiO₂) after sputtering
🔹 Modular Design for Custom Lines
- Full system integration: Cleaning → Nanoimprint→ ICP plasma → Sputtering → Post-Oxidation → AF Coating → UV Curing → QC
- Optional: CM3600 Spectrophotometer interface for real-time optical monitoring
- Available in batch or inline roll-to-roll formats
- Supports glass or plastic substrates
