E-beam evaporation
E-beam evaporation is a process used to deposit thin metal or material films onto surfaces. It involves focusing a high-energy electron beam onto a target material inside a vacuum chamber, causing the material to heat up and vaporize. This vapor then travels through the vacuum and condenses onto a nearby surface, forming a thin, uniform coating. This technique is precise, efficient, and commonly used in electronics and optics manufacturing to create protective or functional layers with specialized properties.
