Patterned Chrome

Full-surface and patterned chrome coatings on planar components are widely used in the optical and semiconductor industry. Materion Balzers Optics puts its emphasis on high resolution, low defect patterns - optionally in combination with low defect functional coatings. With CrBlack™ coating, Materion Balzers Optics additionally offers an optical black coating, characterized by high absorption and low reflection in the VIS or NIR range, which can be specifically adjusted according to customer requests. Applications include background noise reduction in fluorescence sensors and precise alignment marks in correlative microscopy.
