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.

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 ...

The beam will eject source atoms towards the substrate which then deposit as a thin film. The high vacuum ensures near line-of-sight deposition leading to minimal sidewall coverage, which is ideal for ...

We develop advanced module technologies for packaging, interconnection, and sustainability of thin-film CIGS and Perovskite PV. This research is part of the Solliance Shared Research Program for ...

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 ...

Leonardo David is a writer and energy consultant who has worked on projects funded by the Inter-American Development Bank. An electromechanical engineer, he has written about solar energy and the ...

For more than 10 years, TNO’s experts at Holst Centre have been developing thin-film technology to enable batteries, photovoltaics, OLED lighting, OLED displays, imagers and much more. By combining ...

Ocean Thin Films (OTF) designs and produces precision optical coatings, components and assemblies that enable a wide variety of products and custom applications. Leveraging comprehensive know-how in ...

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 ...

Multiple teams in the United States have announced lab-scale, all-thin-film cells with conversion efficiencies above 27%. “Tandems that are all-thin-film are a logical place to eventually go ...
