Modifying materials by coating them with nano-scale ceramic or hybrid layers is a versatile way to add new value, advanced features and unique properties to otherwise conventional materials.1 Creating nano-films on a material’s surface can significantly improve or even completely change its optical, electrical and electronic properties as well as introduce new unique properties such as exceptional hardness or corrosion resistance.2,3
Frequently, the technique of choice for the modification of various surfaces is Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD), which uses consecutive chemical reactions on the material’s surface to create nano-layer or three-dimensional nano-structures.1 Aldrich Materials Science offers high-quality precursors for Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) packaged in steel cylinders suitable for deposition systems.
We will continue to expand our portfolio of ALD precursors to include new materials. The most recent list of our products is shown in the table below. For additional vapor deposition precursors prepackaged in cylinders, please contact us by email at matsci@sial.com.
