Silver can be deposited by e-beam or thermal evaporation. In the chart below you can compare the different deposition equipment.


E-beam evaporation (Alcatel) Thermal evaporation (Wordentec) E-beam evaporation (PVD co-sputter/evaporation) Sputter evaporation (Wordentec)
Batch size
  • Up to 1x4" wafers
  • smaller pieces
  • 6x6" wafers or
  • 6x4" wafers or
  • 24x2" wafers
  • 4x6" wafers or
  • 4x4" wafers or
  • 4x2" wafers
  • 6x6" wafers or
  • 6x4" wafers or
