Surface Coatings
The Fraunhofer Institute for Electron Beam and Plasma Technology FEP in Dresden is working on innovative solutions for vacuum coating and the treatment of surfaces, liquids, and gases.
Based on its core competencies of electron beam technology, magnetron sputtering and plasma-assisted surface processes, Fraunhofer FEP develops resource-saving and efficient process technologies for the strategic fields of energy and sustainability, life science, environmental technologies, smart building and digitalization.
Fraunhofer FEP offers advanced technological solutions for the growth sectors of optics, sensor technology and electronics. Coating technologies are becoming increasingly important as they both optimize existing products and enable new product innovations.
With many years of experience and state-of-the-art equipment technology, the Fraunhofer FEP is able to apply electrical, optical, acoustic and magnetic coatings precisely and homogeneously to large surfaces.
The in-house vacuum processes ensure high coating rates, accuracy and reliability, which guarantees the productive and cost-effective manufacture of sophisticated products. The use of electron beam technology also makes it possible to weld sensitive material combinations with extreme precision, particularly in the field of sensor technology, and to create solutions that would not be possible with other processes.
