Soleras Ltd., located
in Biddeford, Maine, has supplied the vacuum coating industry for over
25 years. Soleras is a supplier of sputter targets, metallic bonding,
original and enhanced Backing Plates and vacuum metalization related
spare parts. Soleras has evolved into a multi-disciplined manufacturer
of materials, vacuum components and consumables. The company has
capabilities in product design, reverse engineering, and failure
analysis. Our engineering department utilizes five computer aided
design Pro Engineer work stations. Our quality department has full
traceability / analysis of materials. Our documentation department
maintains archival data on products, designs and materials. A valuable
capability is the reverse engineering and enhancement of masking,
shielding, cooling, copper / stainless parts. Original parts are
normally not complicated, but problems often come later from the system
application. Soleras can help design parts to have superior performance
under conditions of increased power, limited cooling, adverse process
performance from non-uniform target temperatures and/or the uniformity
needed for ceramic and oxide targets. Soleras’ ability to fabricate
components via CNC machining, high temperature vacuum brazing, hot
isostatic pressing, vacuum melting, Electron Beam welding and helium
leak testing, allows a design freedom not available from most vendors.
Soleras has solutions for problems caused by copper’s softness on
critical diameters, stability, strength, seal surfaces, threads, or
o-ring grooves. This is achieved by brazing stainless steel into the
copper body. The technique is also used to improve the rigidity, while
maintaining the cooling function. Improved heat transfer
characteristics for copper parts are not limited to Backing Plates.
Chill and Hot plates, and non-vacuum assemblies often benefit from a
design enhancement.
