Custom Thin Film Fabrication

DRLI is eager to design your thin film solutions.

In addition to all of the common thin film designs, DRLI has produced many unique thin film products such as mask patterned AR/HR films (above), films patterned by precise laser etching, thin film circuits patterned lithographically, thin film pigment for paint, coated fabrics with constant sheet resistance, tether coated for atomic oxygen resistance and thermal control, thin film phosphor, and thin film multilayer nano-structured materials.
