  2. Physical vapor deposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_vapor_deposition

    Physical vapor deposition (PVD), sometimes called physical vapor transport (PVT), describes a variety of vacuum deposition methods which can be used to produce thin films and coatings on substrates including metals, ceramics, glass, and polymers. PVD is characterized by a process in which the material transitions from a condensed phase to a ...

  3. Sputter deposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sputter_deposition

    Sputter deposition is a physical vapor deposition (PVD) method of thin film deposition by the phenomenon of sputtering. This involves ejecting material from a "target" that is a source onto a "substrate" such as a silicon wafer. Resputtering is re-emission of the deposited material during the deposition process by ion or atom bombardment. [1] [2]

  4. Pulsed laser deposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsed_laser_deposition

    A plume ejected from a SrRuO 3 target during pulsed laser deposition. One possible configuration of a PLD deposition chamber. Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) is a physical vapor deposition (PVD) technique where a high-power pulsed laser beam is focused inside a vacuum chamber to strike a target of the material that is to be deposited.

  5. Electron-beam physical vapor deposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron-beam_physical...

    The PVD process can be carried out at lower deposition temperatures and without corrosive products, but deposition rates are typically lower. Electron-beam physical vapor deposition, however, yields a high deposition rate from 0.1 to 100 μm / min at relatively low substrate temperatures, with very high material utilization efficiency.

  6. High-power impulse magnetron sputtering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-power_impulse...

    The main advantages of HIPIMS coatings include a denser coating morphology [23] and an increased ratio of hardness to Young's modulus compared to conventional PVD coatings. Whereas comparable conventional nano-structured (Ti,Al)N coatings have a hardness of 25 GPa and a Young's modulus of 460 GPa, the hardness of the new HIPIMS coating is ...

  7. Ion plating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_plating

    Ion plating (IP) is a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process that is sometimes called ion assisted deposition (IAD) or ion vapor deposition (IVD) and is a modified version of vacuum deposition. Ion plating uses concurrent or periodic bombardment of the substrate, and deposits film by atomic-sized energetic particles called ions .

  8. Plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma-enhanced_chemical...

    High-density plasma deposition of silicon dioxide from silane and oxygen/argon has been widely used to create a nearly hydrogen-free film with good conformality over complex surfaces, the latter resulting from intense ion bombardment and consequent sputtering of the deposited molecules from vertical onto horizontal surfaces [citation needed].

  9. Molecular-beam epitaxy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular-beam_epitaxy

    Molecular-beam epitaxy takes place in high vacuum or ultra-high vacuum (10 −8 –10 −12 Torr).The most important aspect of an MBE process is the deposition rate (typically less than 3,000 nm per hour) that allows the films to grow epitaxially (in layers on top of the existing crystal).
