WIKA Germany relies on Vacuum Coating Technology from SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES for Sensor Applications

Kahl am Main, May 09, 2025

WIKA Alexander Wiegand SE & Co. KG, Klingenberg (WIKA), is expanding its manufacturing expertise with the use of a GENERIS PECVD inline system from SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES for the deposition of electrical insulation and passivation layers. The state-of-the-art plasma technology is specifically used for applications in the field of sensor technology.

SINGULUS' PECVD technology (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) enables high-quality, thin layers to be applied in an inline process. The deposition of electrically insulating and protective layers contributes significantly to performance enhancement and longevity, especially in high-precision sensor components.

For GENERIS PECVD, SINGULUS relies on proven, specially developed inductively coupled linear plasma sources (ICP). This process is characterized by high electron and activation density combined with low ion energy. It enables high deposition rates over large substrate widths, with the combination of linear plasma source and inline process offering a high degree of scalability while maintaining exceptional layer quality - with wide process windows, minimal substrate damage, and a low CO2 footprint.

GENERIS PECVD technology thus meets the highest requirements for efficiency and precision and offers ideal conditions for demanding markets such as the semiconductor industry, medical technology, the automotive industry, and industrial measurement technology.
