Haverhill, MA – Ultrasonic Systems, Inc. announces the recent sale of a Prism coating system for the application of photoresist.
Ultrasonic Systems, Inc. (USI), the leading manufacturer of high-performance ultrasonic spray coating equipment for solar, fuel cell, medical, and semiconductor applications, announces the recent sale of a Prism coating system for the application of photoresist. The Southern California-based customer requirements are to deposit a 0.6µm film of a photoresist on a curved optical lens device. Conventional spin coating technology was proven to be an ineffective method of applying the photoresist due to the lens’ shape and unique surface topography.
The Prism system, featuring USI’s proprietary nozzle-less ultrasonic spray head technology, is a fully programmable X-Y-Z coating system, for the thin, uniform application of photoresists, as well as polyimides, photoimagable soldermasks, conductive inks, and other proprietary low viscosity coatings. Available in batch configuration or with an in-line conveyor, the Prism is ideal for a variety of applications, including semiconductor wafers, MEMS, and glass panels.
“Our Prism systems are field-proven to reliably provide precise spray coating for a growing number of applications”, said Stuart Erickson, President of Ultrasonic Systems. “We’re pleased to once again provide a precision coating solution for a customer with unique process requirements.”

Haverhill, MA – Ultrasonic Systems, Inc. announces the installation of a PV-480 coating system at a US-based CdTe solar panel manufacturer.
Ultrasonic Systems, Inc. (USI), the leading manufacturer of high-performance ultrasonic spray coating equipment, announces the successful installation and commissioning of a PV-480 coating system at a US-based CdTe solar panel manufacturer. The system will be utilized for the application of cadmium chloride solution as part of the absorber layer activation process. The PV-480 leverages USI’s proprietary, nozzle-less ultrasonic spray head technology for a more uniform and repeatable coating deposition vs. conventional air atomizing spray nozzle, conventional ultrasonic nozzle, and roll coating technologies.
Designed for high-volume in-line manufacturing, the PV-480 can process glass plates up to 48 inches wide at line speeds of up to six feet per minute. The PV-480 delivers liquid coating with transfer efficiencies in excess of 90%, utilizing a traversing Ultra-Spray® blade head. This versatile system is ideal for the application of cadmium chloride solution and anti-reflective coatings, as well as other low viscosity liquids.
“We are pleased with our growing success with thin-film solar manufacturers requiring the latest manufacturing equipment technology to create reliable, efficient thin-film modules,” said Stuart Erickson, President of Ultrasonic Systems. “The latest PV-480 installation reflects the success of our unique nozzle-less spray head technology for spray coating applications critical to CdTe thin-film solar production.”

Haverhill, MA – Ultrasonic Systems, Inc. announces the availability of a heated vacuum chuck option for the Prism spray coating system. Ultrasonic Systems, Inc. (USI), the leading manufacturer of high-performance ultrasonic spray coating equipment for the solar, semiconductor, and fuel cell markets, announces the availability of a heated vacuum chuck option for the Prism spray coating system.
The heated vacuum chuck option for Prism is ideal for thin substrate, wafer, foil, and membrane coating applications, where it enhances control of the substrate to achieve the desired coating thickness and uniformity. The heated vacuum chuck can be programmed to heat the substrate up to 150 degrees Celsius. Available in two (2) size options for various requirements, the vacuum chuck features a sintered aluminum chuck plate for an even vacuum draw across the entire chuck surface. Vacuum is supplied via an integrated venturi vacuum generator.
The flexible and highly configurable Prism spray coating system is ideal for both production and R&D applications within the semiconductor, fuel cell, and electronics assembly markets. All Prism systems leverage USI’s proprietary, nozzle-less ultrasonic spray head technology providing material transfer efficiency up to 99%.
