This process offers a big versatility with respect to other coating methods with the possibility of using several metals, alloys, composites. (see table of Targets below)

Sputtering is not only efficient and ecological but also cheap. It forms a stable contact between the film and the substrate a molecular bonding and the thinnest and most possible uniform coating.
Sputtering is a cold process and can be used to deposit both conductive and insulating materials on whatever type of substrate like metal, ceramic, glass, plastics etc.

The Targets are the products that have to be deposited; they have planar, circular and tubular shapes and are installed in the sputtering equipment as cathodes.
