• Processing Contract

In Katsurayama Technology's vacuum deposition process, a fluorine thin film with a thickness of 10 to 20 nm is applied to metals and glass, imparting effects such as water repellency, oil repellency, dirt resistance, and release properties to the surface of the substrate. We can accommodate everything from small-scale prototypes for effect confirmation to mass production for actual products. [Features] - The film thickness being treated is very thin at 10 to 20 nm, making it unlikely to affect the dimensions of the substrate when applied to molds and other items. - Supports aspect ratios up to 5 in the depth direction (depth of 5 for a hole diameter of 1). - Can accommodate substrate sizes up to 700 mm square. - The colorless and transparent thin film can minimize optical effects on optical components. [Main Applications] - Release treatment for semiconductor encapsulation molds. - Release treatment for Ni electroformed stamping molds for light guide plates and polarizers. - Dirt-resistant treatment for glass used in commercial copiers. - Ink-repellent treatment for commercial inkjet printer heads. - Dirt-resistant treatment for semiconductor polishing equipment parts (preventing slurry adhesion).

• Other polymer materials

"Vacuum deposition technology" is a technique for forming thin films by heating and evaporating thin film materials in a vacuum, then condensing and solidifying them on the surface of a substrate. It is a surface treatment technology suitable for products with uneven surfaces. At Katsurayama Technology, we use fluoropolymer as the raw material, and since the maximum temperature of the entire process can be handled at a low temperature of 50°C, we can perform surface treatments with minimal thermal impact on the substrate through contract processing. Our special technology enhances productivity and ensures uniformity of the thin films! Depending on the application, we can also select film thicknesses ranging from 5 nm to 45 nm. The currently available 'NANOS' technical data provides clear explanations of performance, application examples, and comparisons of surface treatments using diagrams and tables! Because the thin films are extremely thin, ranging from a few nanometers to several tens of nanometers, and the processing temperature is low, they can also be applied to precision machining fields that require high accuracy. Our surface treatment methods include two options: deposition and spray methods. You can specify the treatment method or leave it to us. Please feel free to consult with us!
