About Intlvac: Toronto and Montreal Canada
Originally started in 1967 as Canadian Vacuum Equipment (CVE),
Intlvac has been serving the Canadian high vacuum market with a variety of high
vacuum components and systems. Space simulation chambers, custom sputtering and
ebeam systems, leak detection systems, hydrogen sintering furnaces and nuclear
fuel rod drying systems were some of the many products that had been supplied
into the Canadian market.
 1995 saw the merger of CVE with Process and Vacuum Technology, another Canadian company, which had been supplying equipment to the Canadian semiconductor and optical coating industry.
1995 saw the merger of Canadian Vacuum Equipment of St Laurent, Quebec, with
Process and Vacuum Technology in Georgetown Ontario. Process and Vacuum Technology
was a Canadian company that had been supplying equipment to the Canadian semiconductor
and optical coating industry. Shortly after that merger Intlvac began supplying custom
and standard vacuum systems. To date Intlvac has supplied over 72 systems to government
institutions and industry located in Canada, the US, and Far East.
Intlvac's goal is to provide intelligent vacuum solutions,
ion beam milling systems and thin film coating systems.
1998 Commonwealth Scientific located in Alexandria Virginia
decided to have Intlvac build its smaller ion beam etch and sputter systems, which
continued until 2001. During this time Intlvac's engineering and software groups
grew in numbers, which allow us to develop a number of standard systems.
Systems from Intlvac ship around the world to serve the needs
of customers that want physical vapor deposition systems or ion beam systems. Intlvac's
strength is that we offer a high degree of technical and process support
In 2005 we expanded our in-house thin film lab with the addition
of several thin film coating masters. Intlvac can produce small runs and develop
processes for our customers in our Dual Ion Beam sputtering system, Ion Assisted
electron beam evaporator; load locked sputtering system for Nobel metals, and our
dual cathode A.C. (low frequency) sputtering system.
Research and development play a major role in our technology edge.
We have a variety of solutions to problems relating to thin film deposition and adhesion.
Low temperature ion beam milling and thin film deposition is another area of expertise.
Currently Intlvac's research is centered around A.C. Sputtering for dielectric thin films.
Sputtering is turning out to be the preferred method for the production of complex optical
filters.
