plasma deposition

Plasma deposition is a technique used to apply thin films of materials onto surfaces. It involves creating a plasma, a state of matter where gas is energized to become ionized. This plasma contains charged particles that can deposit atoms or molecules onto a substrate, forming a uniform coating. This method is commonly used in industries like electronics for making semiconductors, as well as in coatings for durability and functionality, like anti-reflective glasses or protective layers. Plasma deposition allows for precise control over the film's thickness and properties, making it a versatile tool in material science.
