What Customers Say About Us
We bought our first KDF 12 years ago... 12 years later we are buying our fourth KDF system. We have multiple sputter systems from 6 different manufacturers. KDF is the best vendor we have dealt with. They set the bar for customer service and quality.
I worked with KDF for 15 years. The machines are built with high quality components. KDF customer service is outstanding and they stand behind their product. If I ever had a question, they respond rapidly.
We are working with KDF for a few years and the support is great. The technician in Europe answers mail very fast and his knowledge is very extensive. The support for spare parts is very good too.
There's a KDF System Perfect for You
Whether you need in-line magnetron sputtering or PVD & DLC coating at production scale, every KDF system starts from the same principle — built for the production floor, not adapted lab equipment.
In-Line Sputtering Systems
Thin film deposition for electronics, photonics & advanced manufacturing.
PVD & DLC Coating Systems
Decorative color PVD, DLC & functional wear coatings.
The Right Solutions for Your Application
From medical implants to photonics, hermetic seals to wear coatings — KDF systems are deployed wherever thin-film reliability isn't optional.
Medical Devices
Biocompatible metallization of implantable devices, stents, surgical instruments, and diagnostic substrates with zero contamination tolerance.
Explore ApplicationHermetic Sealing
Feedthroughs, implantable housings, and ceramic-to-metal seals for aerospace, defense, and cardiac devices demanding absolute hermeticity.
Explore ApplicationPhotonics & Quantum
Laser diode facet coatings, optical isolators, and quantum device metallization where Angstrom-level thickness control defines device performance.
Explore ApplicationIntegrated Passive Devices
Ultra-precise resistor and capacitor thin films for IPDs, RF filters, and thin-film circuits with exceptional lot-to-lot repeatability.
