CY11156 Iridium (Ir) Coated Glass

Iridium (Ir) Coated Glass Description

Iridium (Ir) Coated Glass is a glass substrate coated with a uniform, thin layer of iridium. This iridium film provides chemical inertness and an effective barrier against contaminants during semiconductor processing. The controlled deposition process ensures a consistent film, which is critical for maintaining optical characteristics and process integrity. The product is engineered to minimise surface contamination and improve fabrication process reliability.
