==Deposition of Silicon using PECVD==
At Nanolab you can also deposit silicon the using PECVD. The deposition temperature is 300 °C.

==Deposition of Silicon using sputter deposition==


At Nanolab you can sputter silicon the using Wordentec or the Lesker Sputter systems. One of the advantages here is that you can deposit on almost any material you like.

It was previosly possible to sputter Si with our [[Specific Process Knowledge/Etch/IBE⁄IBSD Ionfab 300| IonFab 300]]. You can read about the deposition conditions and results from that [[Specific Process Knowledge/Etch/IBE⁄IBSD Ionfab 300/IBSD of Si|here]].

==Deposition of Silicon using PECVD==
==Deposition of Silicon using e-beam evaporation==
 
It is possible to e-beam evaporate silicon at Nanolab using the [[Specific Process Knowledge/Thin film deposition/10-pocket e-beam evaporator|E-beam evaporator (10-pockets)]]). As with sputtering you can deposit on almost any material, and in the case of e-beam evaporation the deposition is line-of-sight and will be suitable for lift-off. However for 8" wafers the system is not optimized for lift-off on the full diameter of the wafer.
At Nanolab you can also deposit silicon the using PECVD. The deposition temperature is 300 °C.
