 Physical vapor deposition chamber having an adjustable target patent invention
PVD is a plasma process performed in a vacuum chamber where negatively biased target (typically, a magnetron target) is exposed to a plasma of an inert gas having relatively heavy atoms (e.g., argon (Ar)) or a gas mixture comprising such inert gas.
During film deposition in the PVD chamber 100, the rotational motion of the substrate pedestal 126 compensates for such spatial non-uniformity of the flux of the sputtered material and deposit, on the rotating substrate 130, highly uniform films.
For example, the PVD chamber 400 where the target assemblies 410A-410D comprise targets 118 formed from different materials may be used to deposit in-situ multi-layered film stacks of highly uniform films of such materials or their mixtures.

 Physical Vapor Deposition by Evaporation
In PVD by sputtering, the material to be deposited as a film is converted into vapor by bombarding the source material with high-energy particles or ions.
In PVD by evaporation, the conversion into vapor phase is achieved by applying heat to the source material, causing it to undergo evaporation.
Vapor pressure greater than 1.5 Pa is needed in order to achieve deposition rates which are high enough for manufacturing purposes.

 Physical Vapor Deposition PVD - Surface Finishing - Engineer's Handbook   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
It is fundamentally a vaporization coating process in which the basic mechanism is an atom by atom transfer of material from the solid phase to the vapor phase and back to the solid phase, gradually building a film on the surface to be coated.
PVD can be applied using a wide variety of materials to coat an equally diverse number of substrates using any of the three basic PVD technologies to deposit a number of desired finishes of variable thickness with specific characteristics.
PVD is a desirable alternative to electroplating and possibly some painting applications because it generates less hazardous waste and uses less hazardous materials (i.e., no plating baths).

 Physical Deposition of YBCO   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Atoms are vaporized from yttrium, barium and copper ingots by a high-energy electron beam, and the vapor jets proceed through the low-pressure chamber toward a deposition substrate.
The atoms that vaporize from the surfaces of the yttrium, barium and copper ingots, at the bottom of the figure, quickly undergo expansion in the deposition chamber that results in a rapid decrease of the number density.
Therefore the possibility of the atoms to transport from the vaporized ingot surface to the substrate is increased by the atomic collisions.

This technique is based in the formation of vapor of the material to be deposited as a thin film.
Alternatively, it is possible to use the ion source to directly bombard the substrate surface during the evaporation process, to impart a higher energy to the evaporated atoms and achieve a film with better properties (adherence, density, etc.).
This technique, called 'ion beam assisted deposition' or IBAD, is also available at the laboratory and has been conveniently used to deposit carbon films (DLC) and binary and ternary compounds of the carbon-boron-nitrogen family.
