In a world where materials are used under harsh conditions of temperature, humidity and chemical reactivity, thin films can be used to effectively protect the material. Performing coatings against corrosion, wear, irradiation or heat can push back the limits of technology. Thin films whose thicknesses and refractive indices are controlled precisely form the basis of high quality optical filters or antireflection coatings. When dealing with GCM Lab, our industrial customers benefit directly from the cutting edge knowledge of our researchers who are very active in the development of innovative coatings for a wide range of applications. Our main services for thin films include :
- Design of custom coatings (anti-wear, anti-corrosion, anti-reflection)
- Thin film deposition
- Characterization of the physical properties of a thin film (topography, thickness, etc)
- Identification of the composition of a thin film
Analytical techniques
