the design of both laser fusion and particle beam fusion targets has become increasingly more complex with greater demands on both target tolerances and the physical and mechanical properties of target materials. the materials technology group at los alamos has been given the responsibility for fabricating these targets. in order to meet the demands of the icf program, the target fabrication effort maintains a wide variety of processes to provide metallic, non-metallic, and composite materials for target components. these processes are also geared to provide superior surface finishes, wall uniformity and, in the case of metals, a fine grained equiaxed structure. the materials technologies described include chemical vapor deposition (cvd), physical vapor deposition (pvd), electrochemical deposition, vapor phase pyrolysis (vpp), low pressure plasma coating (lpp) and the sorption/diffusion (sd) process. the authors also discuss the materials and the material properties that can be obtained by these processes. the result of maintaining all these technologies and processes is to allow the greatest latitude for icf target designers
