EB deposition (Electron Beam Evaporation) is a technology that uses an electron beam to heat and evaporate materials, forming thin films on a substrate. This technique is characterized by its ability to produce high-precision and high-purity films, making it widely applicable across various fields. It is particularly suitable for depositing high-melting-point materials and films requiring high purity, and is utilized in a wide range of industries, including optics, electronics, and decorative applications.
EB deposition (Electron Beam Evaporation) is utilized in various fields. Its applications can be broadly classified into two types of films, with the main examples as follows: ① Optical Thin Films ・Anti-reflection coatings (AR coatings) on lenses and mirrors ・Reflective and interference films (e.g., laser optical components and filters) ・High-precision multilayer coatings for optical elements ② Metal Films ・Formation of electrode films in the manufacturing of semiconductors, integrated circuits (ICs), and power devices ・Surface coatings for decorative items The key to successful EB deposition lies in managing the following points properly. ・Management of the vacuum environment ・Control of the electron beam ・Quality management of materials and substrates ・Stabilization of film thickness and deposition rate By properly managing these factors and ensuring thorough safety measures, stable processes and high-quality thin film formation can be achieved.
