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) E-beam evaporation (Physimeca) Electroplating (Electroplating-Ni)
General description E-beam deposition of Nickel E-beam deposition of Nickel E-beam deposition of Nickel E-beam deposition of Nickel Electroplating of Nickel
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 10Å to 2000 Å A few µm to 1400 µm

Base materials:

  • Silicon
  • Polymers with Tg > 65°C
  • Cross-linked or hard baked resists supported by one of the above two materials

Seed metals:

  • NiV (75 - 100 nm recommended)
  • Ti (~5 nm) + Au (75-100 nm recommended)

  • Cr
Comment Thicknesses above 2000 Å requires special permission Only very thin layers (up to 100nm). Sample must be compatible with plating bath. Seed metal necessary.

* To deposit layers thicker then 2000 Å permission is required (contact Thin film group)
