Sputtering Technique Ups Coating Efficiency
BRAUNSCHWEIG, Germany, Sept. 3, 2010 — Sputtering is the phenomenon that occurs when energy-rich ions hit a solid object and cause atoms to be released from its surface. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Thin Film and Surface Technology IST have discovered a special sputtering technique that can greatly increase the efficiency of the coating process, which could be exploited to apply microscopically thin coatings to glass surfaces. Sputtering is the preferred process for coating large surfaces. The process leads to a...
