What are thin clads?

Thin clads are materials, often used in electronic and optical applications, that consist of a thin layer of one material coated onto another. These layers can influence the properties of the underlying substrate, such as improving conductivity, enhancing optical performance, or providing protection against environmental factors. Thin clads are commonly found in devices like semiconductors, solar cells, and various sensors, where precise control over material properties is essential. Their thin nature allows for lightweight and compact designs in advanced technologies.
