Thin-Film Deposition
/ˈTHinˌfilm depəˈziSH(ə)n/
noun:
A vacuum process using an energy source to vaporize material and deposit— atom by atom—an ultra-thin layer onto a part’s surface. The coating can change the component’s surface properties, including the color, wear resistance, and friction coefficient.
