Another potential problem is that filament degradation in the electron gun results in a non-uniform evaporation rate. However, when vapor deposition is performed at pressures of roughly 10 −4 Torr (1.3 × 10 −4 hPa) or higher, significant scattering of the vapor cloud takes place such that surfaces not in sight of the source can be coated ...
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 ...
Thin-film deposition is the overarching technology from which PVD, CVD, ALD, EBPVD, and EPVD are derived, each employing different methods to achieve specific coating characteristics. PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) involves the physical vaporization of material in a vacuum to form a thin film, while EBPVD (Electron Beam Physical Vapor ...
Electron-beam-induced deposition (EBID) is a process of decomposing gaseous molecules by an electron beam leading to deposition of non-volatile fragments onto a nearby substrate. The electron beam is usually provided by a scanning electron microscope , which results in high spatial accuracy (potentially below one nanometer) and the possibility ...
Topological insulators can be grown using different methods such as metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), [67] physical vapor deposition (PVD), [68] solvothermal synthesis, [69] sonochemical technique [70] and molecular beam epitaxy. Schematic of the components of a MBE system (MBE). [34] MBE has so far been the most common ...
Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a vacuum deposition method used to produce high-quality, and high-performance, solid materials. The process is often used in the semiconductor industry to produce thin films .
Plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) is a chemical vapor deposition process used to deposit thin films from a gas state to a solid state on a substrate. Chemical reactions are involved in the process, which occur after creation of a plasma of the reacting gases.
In chemistry, a precursor is a compound that contributes in a chemical reaction and produces another compound, or a chemical substance that gives rise to another more significant chemical product. Since several years metal-organic compounds are widely used as molecular precursors for the chemical vapor deposition process (MOCVD).
