Ion Beam Sputtering Definition Ion beam sputtering (IBS), or ion beam deposition (IBD), is a thin film deposition technology that uses an ion source to deposit a sputtering target onto a substrate to produce the highest quality films with excellent precision. Compared to other PVD technologies, ion beam sputtering is more accurate and can accurately control...Continue Reading
The sputtering target is an important material for physical vapor deposition, the most widely used technology for depositing materials. As its name suggests, “physical” means that the PVD coating method involves a purely physical process. During the physical vapor deposition, a solid target material is broken up into the vapor state (usually in a high...Continue Reading
Why do you need anti-reflection coating? Anti-reflective coating is added to lenses to reduce glare caused by light hitting the back of the lenses, which is good for one’s vision. When light passes through the front and back surfaces of the lens, it not only produces refraction but also produces reflection. This kind of reflected...Continue Reading
Magnetron sputtering is a kind of physical vapor deposition (PVD) technology. The general sputtering method can be used to prepare a plurality of materials such as metal, semiconductor, insulator, etc., and has the advantages of simple equipment, easy control, large coating area, and strong adhesion. Magnetron sputtering has been developed since the 1970s. In addition...Continue Reading
Sputter deposition rate is a parameter that characterizes the film formation rate. In addition to the influencing factors such as the type and pressure of the working gas, target type and area size of the “sputter etched area”, and target surface temperature and target surface magnetic field strength, the deposition rate is also directly affected...Continue Reading
PVD(Physical Vapor Deposition) coating, a physical terminology which is seemingly difficult to understand, actually is connected closely to our daily lives. Your beautiful jewelry, expensive camera and sharp knives may all use PVD coating. If you want to know more about PVD coating, just continue to read. What is PVD coating? PVD Coating, or...Continue Reading
