Applications
Thermal Evaporation and PVD Coating
Thermal evaporation and physical vapor deposition (PVD) are two techniques used to apply thin films and coatings to various substrates. The purity of the source material is just as crucial as the deposition equipment. Indium Corporation provides high-quality materials, particularly indium and gallium, specifically for the electronics and semiconductor industries. Plus, we offer experienced technical support to help you optimize your PVD process.
Overview
