Analyses of Thin Film and Surface Treatment

Functionalities of thin film materials and surface treatment materials (friction, sliding, press property, corrosion resistance, color, electronic physical property, magnetic property, optical characteristics, etc.) vary depending on the surface treatment, surface structure and film structure of thin film, and the interface structure. JFE-TEC provides structure analysis techniques necessary for material design and failure analysis.
