Thin film materials are high purity materials and chemicals used to form or modify thin film deposits and substrates. Examples include precursor gases, sputtering targets, and evaporation filaments.

Definition: Thin films are critical layers of material, from a few nanometers to several micrometers thick, deployed across technology, electronics, and energy sectors. Their importance lies in their ...

Thin film equipment is vacuum process equipment for the deposition or modification of thin films or surfaces using CVD, PVD, plasma etching, and thermal oxidation or ion implantation. Thin film ...

Weather stations are a popular project for experimenting with various environmental sensors, and for wind speed and direction the choice is usually a simple cup anemometer and wind vane.

Typically less than one micron thick, thin films can be conductive or dielectric (non-conductive) and are used in myriad applications. For example, the top metallic layer on a chip and the coating ...
