Sputtering Capabilities

With over four decades of sputtering experience, Spectrum Microwave is the premier choice for thin film metallization solutions.

Besides standard metals like Gold, Nickel and Titanium Tungsten, we are also specialists in a number of exotic metals including:

  • Platinum
  • Chromium
  • Palladium
  • Aluminum
  • Silver
  • Copper

Spectrum Microwave's advanced sputtering systems can accomodate wafers as large as 12", Spectrum Microwave is not limited by even the largest size wafer requirements.
