What Does VAD Stand For?
VAD stands for Vapor Axial Deposition
Vapor Axial Deposition (VAD) is an advanced deposition technique used in materials science and thin film technology. It involves the vaporization of solid materials, which are then deposited onto a substrate in a controlled axial direction. This method is particularly effective for producing high-purity coatings and thin films with uniform thickness, making it ideal for applications in semiconductor manufacturing, optical devices, and protective coatings. VAD offers advantages such as enhanced material utilization and the ability to create complex geometries.
