Deposition products are materials that are formed when a substance is deposited onto a solid surface in a controlled manner.
This typically happens atom by atom or molecule by molecule.
These products usually come in the form of thin or thick layers.
These layers modify the properties of the substrate surface, depending on the intended application.
The thickness of these layers can vary from a single atom (nanometers) to several millimeters.
This depends on the deposition method and the material used.
7 Key Insights
1. Diverse Deposition Methods
Deposition methods are diverse and include techniques such as spraying, spin coating, plating, and vacuum deposition.
2. Vacuum Deposition
Vacuum deposition is a broad term that encompasses various surface engineering treatments used to deposit materials onto substrates.
These coatings can be metallic or non-metallic.
3. Physical and Chemical Vapor Deposition
Vacuum deposition technologies can be categorized into physical vapor deposition (PVD) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD).
PVD involves the condensation of a material from a liquid or solid state into a vapor.
CVD results from a chemical reaction that produces the vapor.
4. Vacuum Environment Advantages
These processes are often conducted in a vacuum environment.
This allows the evaporated or sputtered material to travel across the chamber and settle on the substrate without interference from air molecules.
5. Cooling and Venting
After deposition, the system cools down before the vacuum is broken and the chamber is vented to the atmosphere.
6. Popular Vacuum Deposition Techniques
Popular vacuum deposition coating techniques include physical deposition.
This is where a thin film of a solid is produced using mechanical, electromechanical, or thermodynamic means.
7. Applications of Thin Film Deposition
Applications of thin film deposition products are numerous.
They include protective coatings, optical coatings, decorative coatings, electrically operating coatings, biosensors, plasmonic devices, thin-film photovoltaic cells, and thin-film batteries.
