One of the basic building blocks in MEMS processing is the ability to deposit thin films of material. In this text we assume a thin film to have a thickness anywhere between a few nanometer to about 100 micromet… See more
Chemical Vapor Deposition
In this process, the substrate is placed inside a reactor to which a number of gases are supplied. The fundamental principle of the process is that a chemical reaction takes place between the source gases. The product of t… See more
Electrodeposition
This process is also known as "electroplating" and is typically restricted to electrically conductive materials. There are basically two technologies for plating: Electroplating and Electroless plating. In the electro… See more
Epitaxy
This technology is quite similar to what happens in CVD processes, however, if the substrate is an ordered semiconductor crystal (i.e. silicon, gallium arsenide), it is possible with this process to continue building on … See more
Thermal Oxidation
This is one of the most basic deposition technologies. It is simply oxidation of the substrate surface in an oxygen rich atmosphere. The temperature is raised to 800° C-1100° C to speed up the process. This is als… See more
Physical vapor deposition, or PVD, uses a source material to create a vapor cloud of minute droplets that are deposited onto your wafer. The two most frequently used technologies are …
Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) is a thin-film process that produces coatings of conducting, semiconducting or insulating materials onto a wafer surface. There are different forms of PVD: …
Deposition is the fabrication process in which thin films of materials are deposited on a wafer. During the fabrication of a microsystem, several layers of different materials are deposited. …
