Carbon

High-purity graphite targets are used in magnetron sputtering to deposit diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings and thin films for wear resistance and low friction.

Carbon is used as an evaporation material in electron beam systems to create thin conductive carbon films for electron microscopy and optical applications.

Graphite is the primary material used for the anode in lithium-ion batteries due to its ability to reversibly intercalate lithium ions.

Carbon is the fundamental building block for advanced nanomaterials including carbon nanotubes, graphene, and fullerenes used in high-strength composites and electronics.

High-purity graphite components are used in the semiconductor industry for crystal growth crucibles and ion implantation hardware.
