About Sierra Applied Sciences

Sierra Applied Sciences was founded in 1989 by our current President and C.T.O., Barry Manley. Today the company is the world leader in thin-film sputtering technology. With our cathodes and engineering support, we help customers design, develop and produce products ranging from CDs, optical filters, magnetic heads, tooling, plastic films, magnetic media, architectural glass and more. We offer the Sierra Applied Sciences' "No-Risk" pre-purchase performance modeling guarantee. This modeling service reduces your risk in system and design implementation by simulating your system and confirming deposition rates, film growth, uniformity, and target utilization. Our engineering team works closely with you to get exactly what you need, at the lowest possible price. The key thing we've learned over the last 16 years in business is that a company is made or broken on its reputation. For Sierra Applied Sciences, that reputation is built on integrity, innovation and a unique personal focus. As a result, Sierra Applied is the industry leader in building and delivering high-performance planar magnetron cathodes for the thin-film industry. And we make it easy.
