Nickel deposition
Nickel can be deposited by e-beam evaporation or electroplating. In the chart below you can compare the different deposition equipment.
| E-beam evaporation (Alcatel) | E-beam evaporation (Wordentec) | E-beam evaporation (PVD co-sputter/evaporation) | Electroplating (Electroplating-Ni) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Batch size |

|
| Pre-clean | RF Ar clean | RF Ar clean | RF Ar clean | None |
| Layer thickness | 10Å to 5000 Å | 10Å to 1 µm | 10Å to 1000 Å | A few µm to 1400 µm |
| Deposition rate | 2Å/s to 15Å/s | 10Å/s to 15Å/s | About 1Å/s | About 10 to 250 Å/s |
| Comment | Stress in Wordentec Ni films: study here. | Only very thin layers (up to 100nm). | Sample must be compatible with plating bath. Seed metal necessary. |
