Application Lab Services

Process Solutions

We focus primarily on systems and process solutions by combining our customers' innovations with our own knowledge. We’ve advanced state-of-the-art technology and made visions turn into commercial realities. Our in-house Applications Laboratory staff are trained to quickly identify all key aspects of your unique processing needs. Whether you are trying to develop a new thin film deposition process solution or are looking to transfer your intellectual property to a pilot line or to full production stage, CVD Equipment Corporation can provide cost-efficient solutions.

Process Performance

We offer a service where we can validate the process performance of your system to your specifications prior to shipment, saving your company valuable startup and system characterization time at your facility. Our modular product designs and remote computer monitoring capabilities make diagnosing and servicing your equipment a quick and cost-effective process. Many of our parts are made in-house, which enables rapid prototyping and efficient spare parts support.
