In this technique thin film is deposited on glass substrate following a chemical technique called successive ion layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR). The technique involves multiple dipping of the substrate in a given solution and deionized water, temperature of both can vary from case to case.

Holmarc’s SILAR coating system has been designed to automate the entire process to avoid operator fatigue and errors associated with it. In manual SILAR process, the operator has to perform hundreds of repetitive dipping. It is very difficult to control dip duration and number of dips in a manual process. In the automated unit, all that an operator needs to do is just clamp the substrate on to the holder and program the controller with required dip cycles and duration. As the process is completed, a buzzer will intimate the operator.
