Metal Oxide – Metal Nitride Coatings

Metal Oxide Coatings

Metal oxide thin films are thin layers of metal oxides that are typically a few nanometers to a few micrometers thick. Metal oxide thin films have high mechanical strength and stiffness, high electrical conductivity, high thermal stability, and high optical transparency in the visible and near infrared regions. These properties vary depending on the metal oxide and coating conditions.

Uses: Electronics, optoelectronics, energy storage and sensing

Metal Oxide Films

• TiO2
• ITO
• ZnO
• SnO vb.

Metal Nitride Coatings

Metal nitride thin films are a type of thin film composed of a metal and nitrogen. Metal nitride thin films are known for their high thermal stability, chemical resistance and excellent mechanical properties.

Metal Nitride Films

• AlN
• TiN vb. 

Substrates:

• Semiconductor (Si, Ge, GaAs etc.)
• Flexible (PET, PEN ...etc)
• Polycarbonate (PC), Acrylic (PMMA), Polyamide
• Glass, Sapphire
• Metal
