Chemical Deposition Techniques • Chemical deposition is one fabrication technique, whereby the material to be coated are allowed to react to different chemicals allowing specific reactions to take place in a way that the coating forms successfully. Chemical deposition takes advantage of the chemical reaction, where the product self-assembles and deposits on a suitable substrate. • There are several techniques, some of these techniques are: ...
