Electron Beam Evaporation

Electron Beam Evaporation is a process used to deposit thin films of material onto surfaces. It involves directing a focused beam of high-energy electrons onto a target material inside a vacuum chamber. The electrons transfer energy, causing the material to heat rapidly and evaporate. These vaporized atoms then travel through the vacuum and condense onto a substrate, forming a thin, uniform coating. This technique offers precise control over film thickness and quality, making it ideal for applications like electronics, optics, and coatings, where high-purity and high-precision layers are required.
