ionized physical vapor deposition (iPVD)

Ionized Physical Vapor Deposition (iPVD) is a technique used to coat surfaces with thin, precise layers of materials. It involves vaporizing a solid material in a vacuum, creating atoms that become ionized—meaning they carry an electric charge. These charged particles are then directed onto a target surface using electromagnetic fields, which allows for better control of the coating's thickness, uniformity, and adhesion. iPVD is commonly used in electronics, optics, and protective coatings, providing high-quality, durable layers that enhance the performance and longevity of the coated objects.
