About us
VON ARDENNE develops and manufactures systems for the industrial vacuum coating of materials such as glass, wafers, metal strip or polymer films.
Our customers use these materials to manufacture high-quality products such as solar cells, architectural glass, fuel cells, semiconductors or microelectronic components for sensors and optics.
With more than 65 years of experience in electron beam technology and over 50 years of experience in magnetron sputtering, VON ARDENNE is a pioneer and world-leading supplier of equipment and technologies in PVD thin-film and vacuum process technology.
We are facing the challenges of our current times. Together with our customers, we are working on solutions for the sustainable use of energy, its generation from renewable sources and for the mobility of the future.
As a technology pioneer, we have many years of expertise in developing coating processes as well as equipment and scaling them to meet the various requirements in R&D, pilot and high-volume production.
The key components are developed and produced in-house at VON ARDENNE. We thus offer our customers sophisticated coating systems, comprehensive know-how and global service.

Products & Services
Electricity is a prerequisite for prosperity and progress. And electrical energy from renewable sources such as photovoltaics has become an essential building block in the energy mix. According to all forecasts, photovoltaics will be expanded to a much greater extent in the coming years.
The focus will be on two factors: higher productivity and increasing the efficiency of converting sunlight into electricity. At the same time, this increase in productivity and efficiencies must be accompanied by resource-conserving use of the necessary materials.
Contribution to the expansion of photovoltaics
Our contribution is highly productive vacuum coating equipment, which our customers use to manufacture solar cells or solar modules. The systems are tailored to their requirements and are suitable for different materials and formats. And they are scalable, meaning that processes from research and pilot production can be transferred to larger plants for mass production.
Major international manufacturers of crystalline and thin-film solar modules use our equipment for their production. They benefit from our experience and expertise as market leader.
We work closely with our customers to develop the next generation of modules that will be even more efficient.
We offer vacuum coating solutions for the following applications:
Building-integrated Photovoltaics
Thin-Film Photovoltaics
IBC Solar Cells
Heterojunction Solar Cells
Topcon Solar Cells
Perovskite Tandem Solar Cells

GIGANOVA: Wafer Coating System
If you are looking for highly productive coating systems for solar cell production with an annual capacity of up to 1.3 gigawatts, the GIGANOVA horizontal wafer coating system is the perfect choice. There is no comparable carrier-based system on the market with a higher throughput.
The inline coating system is based on our patented coating technology for large substrate areas. The system is very wide and can therefore process many substrates simultaneously. It is therefore particularly suitable for applications with high productivity at very low costs and is suitable for single- as well as double-sided wafer coating.
Thanks to its modular design, the GIGANOVA can be equipped with magnetrons with rotating targets for single-sided sputter deposition or with linear evaporators for thermal evaporation.
The GIGANOVA benefits from the experience we have gained in delivering more than 300 coating systems for high-volume production to companies in the photovoltaic industry.
HISS: Horizontal Coating System
The HISS300 and HISS600 are modular coating systems designed for the horizontal coating of substrates. They are the ideal choice if you need a highly flexible production system with small to medium throughput, equipped with proven technology.
Thanks to their modular design, these systems can be configured to meet your specific needs. Various configurations are available, including a version with only one end, tailored for smaller production scopes.
The systems offer high process flexibility, supporting both sputtering and evaporation processes, as well as various pre- and post-treatment methods.
The flexible and dynamic design of the systems with standardized modules allows for customer-specific configuration. This adaptability enables customers to easily incorporate new processes or meet changing requirements, ensuring they can remain agile and responsive to product evolution.
HISS300
Focus on research and development of new coating systems or improvement of existing ones
Testing of different process technologies with low space requirements
Scalability to small series and production due to platform approach
HISS600
Focus on developing new or improving existing coating systems
Possibility of testing in small series and, if required, 24/7 production
Scalability to larger system concepts due to platform approach
FOSA MX: Roll-to-Roll Vacuum Web Coating System
The FOSA MX is a web coating system with a modular design. It is ideal for high-volume production and can be configured with up to three separate coating chambers. Furthermore, it features an advanced maintenance concept.
The FOSA MX is engineered for minimal downtime with complex layer stacks, such as anti-reflective and window films, flexible PV modules, or current collectors and anodes for lithium-ion batteries.
VON ARDENNE is a leading supplier of large-area coating systems that have been proven in the industry. Therefore, we were able to incorporate extensive technological knowledge and experience in handling film substrates into this platform.
