Leave working in a vacuum to the thin films.
Thin Film Forge is built around bringing together the designer, the process engineer and the tool operator, from first design to the production run.
Whether you are a solo designer that needs a fast, cheap & robust tool, or a large team that needs all of the SSO, PLM, MES and tool integrations, Thin Film Forge has what you need to work your magic!
Fully validated simulations
Our solver is checked against independent transfer-matrix codes and published designs (see Validation). Common materials database included. Import the design tables you already have from Macleod, TFCalc, OptiLayer, FilmStar or OpenFilters.
All modules baked in
Other programs charge extra for day-to-day touch points like reverse engineering, in-situ characterization. We include all of our design and simulation tools & collaboration, version control and manufacturing integrations.
Any computer, nothing to install
Windows, Mac or Linux; no more software license files or waiting on IT approvals. Thin Film Forge runs in the browser with dedicated servers or self-hosting available.
Design control built in
Every change is a revision. Releases need review and electronic signatures, and any past result reproduces exactly from frozen material data. Generate a PDF or automatically update PLM & your EIDP as you go.
Production native
Generate run sheets, notify your MES, pull live tool data for the operator and process engineer, and load measured spectra for QA and SPC.
Try it on your own design
Paste a layer table from the program you use now and compare the spectra. Using another commercial program? Ask for a free month of Team.
