Posted on

In order to achieve the desired properties and meet performance requirements, substrates may need to be pre-cleaned prior to deposition. While there are several methods that can be used to carry out this process, each has its own benefits depending on your pre-cleaning goal and deposition process. For example, RF glow plates use lower energy… Read More

Is Evaporation or Sputtering Better for Your Application?

Posted on

When selecting a physical vapor technique for your manufacturing process, the end application will greatly affect which technique is best. While PVD has many forms, there are two prominent techniques: evaporation and sputtering. Sputtering through magnetron or ion beam (IBS) utilizes energetic ions colliding with a target to eject (or sputter) target material. Thermal resistive… Read More

This cluster platform has features dedicated to sputter etch… Read More

Why PIB-CVD? Process Tunability

Posted on

The process tunability of PIB-CVD makes it optimal for many thin film applications. The inherent tunability of PIB-CVD enables a wide range of film properties including flowable, soft, thin film encapsulation layers as well as hard, highly hydrophobic, and optically clear coatings. As a result, multilayer and gradient coatings can be produced in a single chamber from… Read More

Why Semiconductor Manufacturers Prefer Denton’s Collaborative Approach

Posted on

Semiconductor manufacturing often takes a hardware-centric perspective when selecting equipment and vendors. However, manufacturers can benefit from a vendor’s industry experience and, instead, take an application-specific route. A partner like Denton Vacuum, with decades of experience, can address key concerns to get you to production faster than piecing together OEM parts. Working with a single vendor, or… Read More
