Development and creation of an experimental magnetron device for deposition of various materials

N Investment project title Development and creation of an experimental magnetron device for deposition of various materials
1. Sector

A technological device

2. Project description

Acousto-plasma magnetrons are developed and patented at IAPP (RA patent №3086A). 
Preliminary spraying experiments with various materials including plasma chemistry methods are carried out with these magnetrons. The spraying on various targets is studied. Standard vacuum device are used, with help of which it is possible to obtain only small samples. 
It is suggested to create the device for sprayed sample not less than 0.25 m2 to make possible to obtain a small number of production line. 
On the basis of this experimental device it is suggested to produce industrial device of various productivity and for various purposes in Armenia.

9. Payback period 3 years
10. Annual profitability index Non less than 20%
11. Detailed costs

Equipment - 15.000;
wages – 25.000

12. Offer to investor

The possible investor is suggested to cooperate with the author’s group.To create and implement the designed device for creation of production lines that will be competitive in markets. 
For example:

  1. Sprayed window glasses for use in various spears
  2. For glass shields of solar energetic
  3. For various filtering materials and other application spears

The device is much cheaper than foreign analogues and the magnetrons used are made in the institute.
