    The Science and Application of Sputtering Systems

    Guest post is provided by Denton Vacuum, LLC, providing the magnetron sputtering system for a variety of industry applications. View their website for more information. Vacuum sputtering technology like plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition allows for thin, diamond-like films to be laid on pieces of plastic or metal. The substrate to be laid in a film on the target is heated to levels so high, it can be compared to the temperature of the sun. As it cools, it condenses in a microscopic layer over the target, so thin that you would need an electron microscope to view the thickness of the layer. Because the layer is so durable, it can…
