The application and development of vacuum coating equipment technology in China

   Vacuum coating technology is a new technology of material synthesis and processing, and it is an important part of surface engineering technology. With the rapid development of the global manufacturing industry, the application of vacuum coating technology is more and more extensive. From the development of semiconductor integrated circuit, LED, display, touch screen, solar photovoltaic, chemical, pharmaceutical and other industries, the demand of vacuum coating equipment, technology, materials are increasing, including the manufacture of electrical membrane of large scale integrated circuit; digital longitudinal and transverse magnetization data record can be fully displayed and stored film; optical film the application of various optical properties; computer display photosensitive film; conductive film TFT, PDP flat panel display and antireflection film; application architecture, automobile industry on the glass coating and decorative film; protective film, barrier film packaging; functional film with various functions on the decorative decoration materials industry and application; the mold on the surface of the super hard wear; research of nano materials of various functional films.

At the same time, with the continuous development of industrial technology, the comprehensive performance of the material requirements are also increasing, the performance of a single material has been unable to meet the performance requirements of the working machinery in some specific environments. Domestic vacuum coating machine after decades of development, compared with foreign advanced coating equipment, the degree of automation and technology has made certain progress, but in the coating product stability and accuracy needed improvement, high-end equipment still rely on imports. At the same time, the low end product market of the multi arc coating ion machine has the situation of supply exceeding demand, and the price competition is more intense.

The China vacuum coating equipment industry and other traditional manufacturing overcapacity has emerged, Daobi effect significantly, the country to vigorously develop the environmental protection industry, the traditional electroplating industry be banned or transformation or limited production, which is ion coating industry development opportunities. Vacuum coating of high cost performance and the traditional plating on the environment pollution forced vacuum coating has become the mainstream, various types of coating technology of vacuum coating equipment is increasing. For the development of domestic vacuum coating equipment manufacturing enterprises are as follows:

1. At present, the trend of the real economy, overall weak recovery is full of uncertainties, the economy is in to dip process, vacuum coating equipment manufacturing enterprises should focus on the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure, quality and service a clear market positioning, vigorously developed with independent intellectual property rights of new products, new technology, improve product quality and service level.

2, relying on the development trend of information technology, adhere to the "information technology to promote industrialization, promote the informationization with industrialization, out of a high technological content, good economic benefit, resource consumption low, little environmental pollution and human resource advantages into full play of the new industrialization path.

3, relying on government support, and to strengthen the industry with advanced technology and technology level of scientific research institutes, large enterprises, colleges and universities, so that new products can quickly to the market.

Vacuum coating technology and equipment have a very broad application areas and development prospects. The future vacuum coating equipment manufacturing sectors, such as the information fusion as a center of gravity, rely on technological progress, pay more attention to technological capability accumulation and manufacturing tend to service type, to the world for vacuum coating equipment, industry and other manufacturing industry value chain of high-end advance.
