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.


E-beam evaporation (Alcatel) Thermal evaporation (Wordentec) E-beam evaporation (PVD co-sputter/evaporation) Sputter evaporation (PVD co-sputter/evaporation) Sputter evaporation (Wordentec)


Batch size
