== Chromium deposition ==
== Chromium deposition ==
Chromium can be deposited by e-beam evaporation, thermal evaporation, and sputter deposition. It should be noted that in e-beam evaporation, chromium does not melt but evaporates directly from the solid phase. In the chart below you can compare the different deposition equipment. Further down you will find the results of some studies on chromium deposition.
