The field of electron microscope requires the coating of samples for better imaging. Furthermore, the created layer is conductive in nature which enables charging and reduces the thermal damage to improve the secondary electron signals for topographic examination. Sputter Coating is one such method which involves the process of applying an ultra thin coating of electrically conductive metals such as gold, silver platinum and palladium among others. These coatings have a thickness range of 2-20 nanometers. The market is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period.
