• General Plasma is the innovation leader in large-area vacuum coating systems and sources. Our patented (and patent-pending) source technologies, superb mechanical engineering and attention to detail make General Plasma products the best in their class.
• General Plasma designs and builds large-area vacuum coating systems. We are experts in the design and fabrication of systems for solar cell manufacturing, and are developing a family of coating systems that deliver order-of-magnitude improvements in deposition rates, uniformity, and cost of ownership.
• General Plasma’s patented Plasma-Beam Source™ technology creates an extremely dense, magnetically-confined plasma. Plasma-Beam Source technology advances plasma CVD coating in much the same way the magnetron cathode advanced sputtering.
• General Plasma’s line of magnetrons and ion sources offer unmatched uniformity, reliability and resource utilization for large area sputtering applications. General Plasma’s sources include Pointed Pole™ linear ion sources, rotatable magnetrons, and moving magnet planar magnetrons.
