Copper can be deposited by e-beam evaporation or sputtering at Nanolab. In the chart below you can compare the different deposition equipment. | Copper can be deposited by e-beam evaporation or sputtering at Nanolab. We have also recently developed a process with thermal evaporation (2024). In the chart below you can compare the different deposition equipment. Further down you will find some results of studies on Cu deposition processes. | ||
