What is PVD Coating? Physical vapor deposition (PVD) coating refers to various coating techniques in which thin layers are created on a substrate using physical techniques. Each technology has a unique set of benefits. PVD coating starts by depositing films with precise stoichiometries to achieve color PVD finishes (ratio of certain elements). Typically, a base...

In the high-tech era of thin-film deposition, not all materials are equal. Although gold and silver metals are celebrated for their conductivity, emerging ceramics like Magnesium Oxide (MgO) are the quiet workers that enable the next generation of technology. Magnesium Oxide sputtering targets are the raw materials of this technology, providing the source material to...

1. The Core Difference at a Glance Before diving deep, here is the fundamental distinction: PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition): A physical process. A solid material is vaporized in a vacuum and then condenses as a thin film on the substrate. Think of it as transferring material atom-by-atom. CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition): A chemical process. Gaseous precursors react or decompose on the...

Introduction Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) is a cornerstone of modern manufacturing, but with multiple methods available, choosing the right one is critical. This guide doesn’t just list the PVD coating types—it provides a clear framework for comparing and selecting the ideal process based on your material, application, and budget. Quick Navigation: Comparative Analysis Table In-Depth Method Breakdown...

Zinc Oxide (ZnO) sputtering targets are a key material utilized during the deposition process known as magnetron sputtering. In the process, high-energy ions strike the target and eject zinc oxide atoms. The ejected atoms deposit themselves on substrates such as glass, forming a thin yet strong film. These Zinc Oxide films have been greatly helpful...

1. Introduction to Sputtering Targets Sputtering targets are significant commodities for thin-film industries like electronics, optics, and energy sectors. Simply put, a “sputtering target” is the target material utilized for sputtering, a form of physical vapor deposition (PVD). During the PVD process, atoms from a solid target are removed and ejected upon impact by high-energy...
