Deposition of Silver

Silver can be deposited by e-beam evaporation, by sputtering and by thermal evaporation. In the chart below you can compare the different methods on the different deposition equipment.


Sputter deposition of Silver

Thermal deposition of Silver

Comparison of deposition equipment for silver

E-beam evaporation (E-beam evaporator (Temescal) and E-beam evaporator (10-pockets)) Thermal evaporation (Thermal Evaporator) Thermal evaporation (Wordentec) Sputter deposition (Wordentec) Sputter deposition (Lesker) Sputter deposition (Sputter-system Metal-Oxide (PC1) and Sputter-system Metal-Nitride (PC3))
