Sputter deposition — is a physical vapor deposition (PVD) method of depositing thin films by sputtering, that is ejecting, material from a target, that is source, which then deposits onto a substrate, such as a silicon wafer. Resputtering is re emission of the… … Wikipedia
Coating — is a covering that is applied to the surface of an object, usually referred to as the substrate. In many cases coatings are applied to improve surface properties of the substrate, such as appearance, adhesion, wetability, corrosion resistance,… … Wikipedia
Anti-reflective coating — Many coatings consist of transparent thin film structures with alternating layers of contrasting refractive index. Layer thicknesses are chosen to produce destructive interference in the beams reflected from the interfaces, and constructive… … Wikipedia
List of coating techniques — This list contains an overview of coating techniques for thin film deposition, found in the field of materials science. The techniques can be classified as follows: Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) * Metalorganic vapour phase epitaxy *… … Wikipedia
