Joe, that's why we are here -- we are "writing the book" from a perspective of people who actually do this stuff, to share with others. In real life you just run into so many things that the usual oversimplified theorists miss, and we actually overcome all that and get 'er done. Usually all too much of this kind of info becomes someone's trade secret and is lost to the world.
We're fixing that problem.
Yeah, I'd have called that photo "a bad day at the office". But impressive none the less. John is the current expert here at any kind of depo or implantation, I'm just a beginner (who gets lucky some).
CD's are evaped, it's so much faster -- ridiculously so, and the process is far less critical. Fraction of a second a batch, vs an hour or so. Sputtering is like for things that Jerry is wanting to do. Ultra precise thickness optical coatings and things similar to that. Time is money, which is why a good optical AR coat is much more expensive than a CD.
Pick our brains all you want, that's the whole idea here. Gives us an excuse to create content that teaches the lurkers, and someday I'm sure you'll return the favor.
Because it's obvious you are a "maker", rather than a taker or faker or just talker. Our kinda guy.
I'll see if I can find some pix of my stuff when I was doing that, my evap thing is temporarily down -- that tank grew a fusion project in it. I got really decent results with some pretty simple setup.
