Key Benefits of Thin Film Deposition
Thin film deposition has several advantages that makes it indispensable in materials science research and industrial applications. Our selection of products enables the creation of thin-film devices with diverse applications that offer reliable and reproducible results.
- Electrical conductivity: Tailored for applications like electrical conductors, transistors, and solar cells
- Optical properties: Designed for mirrors, filters, and anti-reflective coatings
- Mechanical properties: Engineered for wear resistance, scratch resistance, or specific hardness
- Functional properties: Deposited materials can exhibit superconductivity, magnetism, biocompatibility, or other desired functionalities
Advanced thin film technology enables the development of advanced devices with unique functionalities, such as:
- Miniaturization: Thin films enable you to create smaller and more compact devices, compared to bulk materials, such as microchips and integrated circuits, TFT's and Microfluidic devices
- Integration: Different materials can be layered on top of each other to create complex structures with combined functionalities like MEMs and solar cells
- Novel functionalities: Thin-film materials can be used to create devices with properties not achievable with traditional bulk material such as metamaterials, superconducting thin films and Shape Memory Alloys
Other advantages include:
- Uniformity and conformality of the film, even on complex and three-dimensional substrates
- Modification of a substrate's surface properties
- A scalable process that can be performed on large areas, making it cost-effective for mass production applications

Thin Film Deposition
At Goodfellow, we understand the exacting needs for applying material films as thin as a few atoms onto the surface of a substrate, to the effect of altering an object’s properties such as its conductivity, durability or optical performance.
Whether this amazingly thin coating can be made from metals, oxides, compounds or other materials, here are some resources on our most popular products:
