Thin Film Deposition
Thin Film Deposition Metallic Films can be depositied using the Leybold Thermal Evaporator or the Quorum 150TS Sputter Coater. Organic or nanoparticulate films can be depositied using the Laurell Spin Coater.
Surface Modification
Surfaces can be etched using the Femto 1A Plasma Cleaner or the Hitachi IM400 Ion Miller.
