THIN FILM DECORATIVE COATING FOR CONSUMER ELECTRONICS

摘要

Thin film coating is a widely used technology for manufacturing products from medical, automotive, and machine tools industries. Physical vapor deposition (PVD) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) are the most commonly used method for depositing thin films on surfaces. Thin film coating technology also plays important role in electronics and optics industries. Conventionally, the technology is being used to apply dopants and sealants to chips and other microelectronic parts. On the other hand, thin film technology for optical purposes is applied to a numerous applications starting from household mirrors to photovoltaic (PV) cells. Recently, thin film technology has been used as a decorative coating for consumer electronics to add more colors instead of conventional black, white, and silver.
