PVD VS. CVD

Table Comparison: Physical Vapor Deposition Vs. Chemical Vapor Deposition

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...

Applications of Zinc Oxide Sputtering Targets in Glass Coatings

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...
