Bangalore, February 2014: Bangalore based Hind High Vacuum Co Pvt Ltd (HHV) has announced that it has developed Smart Coat 3.0, a versatile, modular, thin film deposition system, primarily to aid researchers working in academic and industrial thin film laboratories. Developed based on the vast experience of HHV, Smart Coat 3.0 is compatible with glass bell jar and cylindrical glass chamber and box type metal chamber. This unique modular design helps researchers to develop a wide range of thin film processes and products using evaporation; ion assisted sputtering or electron beam techniques.

Established in 1965 at Bangalore to develop Indian self-reliance in high vacuum technology, HHV has now grown into a leading global player involved in the design, development and manufacture of off-the-shelf and customized equipment and products based on vacuum science and technology.

Said Mr Prasanth Sakhamuri, Managing Director, HHV "We have always been in the forefront in collaborating with leading industries and research labs for the development of thin film science and technology. This is yet another initiative from HHV in this direction, using its 49 years of expertise in producing thin film deposition systems and exporting to developed countries for specific applications."

"HHV's Smart Coat 3.0 with digital thickness monitors (DTM) and optical thickness monitor (OTM) is a supplement to become a full-fledged optical research laboratory to produce complex and needy optical thin film products. We also offer a range of proven gadgetries for processes and manipulators tested in its laboratory for its repeatability and reliability with Smart Coat 3.0. It covers electron beam gun, deposition control and optical monitoring tool which every researcher dreams of owning to produce excellent results," added Mr Prasanth Sakhamuri.

HHV's thin film laboratory is serving the opto-electronic community including space and defense with a wide range of thin film products like interference filters, UV reflectors, Laser mirrors, etc.
