What Does ALD Stand For?
ALD stands for Atomic Layer Deposition
Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) is a thin-film deposition technique used to create precise, conformal coatings at the atomic level. This process involves alternating exposure of a substrate to two or more reactive precursors, which react sequentially to form a monolayer of material. ALD is widely utilized in semiconductor manufacturing, nanotechnology, and materials science for its ability to produce uniform films with excellent control over thickness and composition.
