Ion Beam Sputtering (IBS) Technology

[vc_row][vc_column width="3/4"][vc_column_text] Introduction Ion beam sputtering (IBS) is a physical vapor deposition (PVD) method which provides the highest precision and control among all other thin film deposition methods like thermal evaporation, DC/RF magnetron sputtering and pulsed laser deposition (PLD). The high quality of IBS stems from low chamber pressure and high-energy ions striking the target(s). Offering various advantages from layer uniformity, stability, thickness control, and choice of material (metals, insulators, magnetic materials, refractory metals), ion beam sputtering is of interest to experts of optics, sensors (MEMS), thin film solar cells, and semiconductors.

Thin Films Coating and Applications

Report

[vc_row][vc_column width="3/4"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] What is Thin Film and its Properties? A thin film is a layer of material with a thickness in the range of a nanometer to a few micrometers. Many industries make use of different deposition methods to create thin films. Thin films are widely used in our everyday life, such as the metal coated glass used as mirror in every home. Vac Coat as a manufacturer and designer of Vacuum Coating Systems, uses Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) methods, such as sputtering, thermal evaporation, and pulsed laser deposition (PLD), to create different types of them.

Sample Preparation for Scanning Electron Microscopy

Report

[vc_row][vc_column width="3/4"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] What is the Purpose of Sample Preparation? Samples to be investigated by electron microscopy need preparation through various techniques to obtain the most accurate results.

Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)

Report

[vc_row][vc_column width="3/4"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] What is Scanning Electron Microscopy? Scanning electron microscopy is an efficient and non-destructive technique that provides detailed information on the morphology, composition, and structure of the studied materials. The first one of this electron microscope was invented in 1942. It was shown at that time that Secondary Electrons (SE) produced topographic contrast using the collector positive bias rather than the sample. After that, many changes were made until the first commercial sample of scanning electron microscope was introduced in 1965.

What is Plasma?

Report

[vc_row][vc_column width="3/4"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=""] Plasma Physics Plasma is the fourth state of matter that can be reached in high energies. Normally, when atoms in a solid gain enough energy it goes to liquid phase, and then the phase transition is continued to the gas phase at higher energy levels, and then plasma is formed at extremely high temperatures. In a typical plasma, some or all of the electrons in an atom gain enough energy to overcome nucleus potential barrier and an ionized gas is formed. So, plasma contains free electron-ions and is able to conduct electricity. Since atoms are normally neutral, the plasma is electrically neutral. Plasma may contain magnetic fields as moving electric charges create them.
