VST · Innovative Vacuum Technology · Since 1986

Two ways in. One vacuum company.

Start with what you're building, or browse the full nine-line catalogue. Both paths land on the same engineers, who have shipped custom systems for ISRO, CNRS, MBraun, and the University of Montpellier since 1986.

Start with what you're building

Six application areas where VST runs daily.

These are the workloads our customers come to us for. Each card lists the product lines that go into that application, so you can jump straight to the equipment from here, or read the full catalogue below.

01 / Solar & photovoltaics

Deposit, characterise, and stress-test next-gen cell stacks.

RF magnetron sputtering for transparent conductors and Mo back-contacts; ion-assisted e-beam evaporation for absorber stacks; spectroscopic ellipsometry for film-thickness control. CIGS, perovskite, ZnO and beyond.

Powered by Sputtering · Evaporation · Woollam ellipsometry
02 / OLED & display research

Inert atmospheres and clean depositions for organic devices.

Glovebox-integrated thermal evaporation for organic emissive layers and encapsulation. Sub-ppm O₂/H₂O environments, multi-source co-deposition, and substrate-flip mechanisms. The combination MBraun trusts.

03 / Semiconductor & materials science

Thin-film growth and metrology for university and corporate labs.

Compact, robust, easy-to-operate systems for thin-film research groups. Designed for graduate students to run, engineered to last through generations of them. Daily-use installations at CNRS, University of Montpellier, and beyond.

04 / Aerospace & space simulation

Qualify components for vacuum, thermal, and radiation cycles.

Altitude test chambers and thermal-vacuum simulators used by satellite developers. The team behind ISRO's compact sputtering + e-beam tool at the U R Rao Satellite Centre delivers the same discipline to every aerospace customer.

Powered by Space simulators · Components · ATEQ leak testers
05 / Battery & energy storage

Inert handling and post-deposition processing for advanced electrodes.

Built for the moisture- and oxygen-sensitive chemistries lithium and sodium-ion research demands. Glovebox-integrated electrode prep, vacuum ovens for drying and bake-out, arc-melting for refractory current-collector materials.

Powered by Glovebox systems · Vacuum ovens · Arc melting
06 / Industrial coatings & QA

Production-scale deposition and 100% leak-tightness verification.

Sputtering for hard, optical, and barrier coatings at pilot and production scale. Manufactured-to-spec vacuum components for chamber upgrades. Authorized ATEQ leak testers for line-side QC: pressure decay, mass flow, helium.
