| Thin Film Deposition |
Deposits uniform films by sputtering onto substrates such as silicon wafers. |
| Semiconductor Etching |
Enables sputter etching where high anisotropy is required and selectivity is less critical. |
| Analytical Techniques (SIMS) |
Controlled sputtering for detecting elemental composition and extremely low impurity concentrations. |
| Space Weathering Studies |
Used to study sputtering effects on airless planetary bodies like the Moon and asteroids. |
| Automotive & Industrial Coatings |
Produces shiny, corrosion-resistant coatings on wheels, bumpers, hydro-pneumatic cylinders, piston rings, slide valves, and other components. |
| Electronic Components & Displays |
Applied in PVD for functional coatings in displays, photovoltaic cells, batteries, and electronic devices. |
| Vacuum Chroming & Decorative Coatings |
Used in vacuum chroming of watches, household appliance parts, mirrors, tinted glass, and other decorative surfaces. |
