How to Clean Deposition Materials Shipped in Oil?

In order to protect some deposited materials from reacting with air or water vapor, they are usually immersed in low-viscosity (hydrocarbon) mineral oil during storage and shipment. Before installing these composition materials shipped in oil into the vacuum system, we must use solvents to remove these oils. The choice of solvents is based on the premise...

An Overview of Electron Beam Evaporation

Electron Beam Evaporation – Definition Electron beam evaporation, or E-beam evaporation, is a type of physical vapor deposition (PVD) technique, which directly heats the evaporation material (usually pellets) by using an electron beam under vacuum, and transports the vaporized material to the substrate to form a film. Electron Beam Evaporation – Working Processes Electron beam evaporation...
