Can someone help me with the method for performing nano-coating on glass like substrate
Help with depositing a Nano coating on a glass-like substrate please
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the method for depositing Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) coatings on glass or acrylic substrates. The most effective technique identified is sputter deposition, known for producing consistent ultra-thin coatings. Participants emphasized the need for specific details regarding the coating material, thickness, and purity to provide accurate assistance. Renting time on an evaporator for coating can cost around $300 per hour, and users are encouraged to explore local universities or service companies for access to necessary equipment.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of ITO coating properties and applications
- Familiarity with sputter deposition techniques
- Knowledge of vacuum deposition processes
- Basic concepts of thermal management in heating plates
- Research ITO coating methods and their applications in electronics
- Learn about sputter deposition equipment and techniques
- Investigate local service providers for vacuum coating services
- Explore the thermal properties of glass and acrylic for heating applications
This discussion is beneficial for materials scientists, engineers involved in electronics manufacturing, and anyone interested in the application of ITO coatings for heating elements or RF shielding.

Welcome to PF. 
What kind of coating? What material? How thick? What purity? The more information that you can give us, the better we can help you.

If you are looking to just rent some time on an evaporator, a small one starts around $300 per hour, plus training.
Cheers,

Thanks a lot for your replies. I am looking for the most economical method of ito coating on glass/acrylic surface in a uniform way. The thickness of the glass surface will be 3-5mm, and we will using this project for making heating plates from 35 degree celsius to 120 degree celsius.
Any insight will be very helpful

From what I understand, you can't beat sputter deposition for consistent ultra-thin coatings...
...assuming your coating can indeed be 'sputtered', of course. What type of coating are you using?

"ito" = Indium/Tin/Oxide. A semi-transparent metallic coating often used for RF shielding on instrument faceplates, and as a resistive heating element.DiveshAggarwal said:
Here in the U.S.A, there are service companies that are usually hired to do the coating. It is done in a vacuum and requires some rather expensive equipment and experience.
Maybe there is a large University nearby that has the equipment or knows where it can be done.
I just typed ito coating into Google and found many results.
Please let us know what you decide on doing.
Cheers,
Tom
