Physical Vapor Deposition Equipment
What is physical vapor deposition equipment?
Physical vapor deposition(PVD) equipment is a preparation equipment that uses physical processes to achieve material transfer, transferring atoms or molecules from the source to the surface of the substrate.
Physical vapor deposition(PVD) refers to vaporizing the surface of the material source and depositing it on the surface of the substrate through low-pressure gas/plasma, including evaporation, sputtering, ion beam, etc.
Advantages of PVD coating
Simple - the principle is simple, no chemical reaction is involved in the preparation, only the material transfer of molecules or atoms is involved;
Controllable - the deposition rate and film thickness can be controlled by temperature, angle, distance, power and other methods;
Safe - no toxic, harmful, flammable or explosive gases are involved in the preparation during the coating process.
Product categories of PVD coatings
Magnetron sputtering coating system - Magnetron sputtering is an essential experimental method for preparing low-dimensional and nano-thin film material devices, and is widely used in integrated circuits, photonic crystals, low-dimensional semiconductors and other fields.
Laser coating equipment - Laser coating is to introduce pulsed laser into the vacuum chamber through the synthetic selective wavelength quartz window to irradiate the film-forming target. After the target is irradiated, it absorbs high-density energy to form a plasma-like plasma state, which is then deposited on the sample substrate on the opposite side to form a film. The laser coating method can obtain artificial synthetic new materials with a composition and structure that is quasi-stable in thermodynamic theory, which are used to prepare superconducting films, semiconductor films, ferroelectric films, superhard films, etc.
Evaporation coating equipment - Evaporation coating is to heat the evaporation container in a vacuum chamber so that the raw materials inside it are vaporized and escape from the surface in the form of atoms or molecules, forming a vapor flow to the surface of the opposite sample (called substrate or substrate) to condense to form a solid film.
Electron beam evaporation coating equipment - The energy of the electron beam evaporation source can be highly concentrated, so that the coating material can be locally heated to a high temperature and evaporated. By adjusting the power of the electron beam, the evaporation rate of the coating material can be easily controlled, which is especially beneficial for high melting point and high purity metals and compound materials.
