Mass-Vac Inc. (North Billerica, Mass.) is offering a broad range of customizable vacuum pump inlet traps for production and research processes involving ALD, LPCVD, PECVD and related deposition processes.
These stainless steel MV Vacuum Pump Inlet Traps come in several sizes and are adjustable to user requirements for protecting vacuum pumps from the heavy particulate byproducts of ALD, LPCVD, PECVD and related deposition processes. Ideally suited for research laboratories, semiconductor fabrication and industrial coating facilities, the traps can provide up to 2,500 cubic inches of solids accumulation.
Users can select between stainless steel gauze; copper gauze; polypropylene in 2-, 5- and 20-micron sizes; Sodasorb; activated alumina; activated charcoal; and molecular sieve filter media for their traps. The 8-inch-diameter PosiTrap is ideal for research labs and the 12-inch-diameter MultiTrap, which has a first-stage knockdown baffle and two filtration stages, can be stacked to provide four stages of filtration.
Filter elements are sold separately.

Vacuum Deposition and Coating Options
This overview takes a look at vacuum deposition technologies as processes that may be used to create coatings that can be substituted for or enhances the properties of electroplated coatings. Initially, this work discusses trends in metal finishing and environmental regulation.

Progress in Replacing Decorative Electroplating Chrome Coatings on Plastics with Physical Vapor Deposition Coatings
Decorative electroplated chrome coatings on plastics have been produced for decades. For environmental reasons, there has been a shift away from hexavalent chrome (Cr6) to trivalent chrome (Cr3) with increased investments towards elemental chrome PVD coatings to maintain the true chrome appearance.

Vacuum Deposition Processes
The deposition of a film or coating in a vacuum (or low-pressure plasma) environment. Generally, the term is applied to processes that deposit atoms or molecules one at a time, such as in physical vapor deposition (PVD) or low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) processes.
