\n<\/span>
\nWhen choosing materials, consider the following:
\nProperties<\/strong>: The material should have the properties you need for the thin film you want to create.
\nPurity<\/strong>: Impurities in the material can affect the properties of the thin film.
\nSize and shape<\/strong>:\u00a0<\/span>The target’s size and shape should be based on what you’re coating and the deposition system you’re using.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]
