Vacuum Deposition
Vacuum deposition is a manufacturing process used to create thin films on surfaces. It involves placing materials, often metals or plastics, in a vacuum chamber, where the pressure is significantly lower than the atmosphere. The material is then vaporized, allowing it to condense and form a thin layer on a target surface, such as glass or metal. This technique is commonly used in industries for coatings, electronics, and optics, providing benefits like uniform thickness, improved adhesion, and enhanced properties like conductivity or reflectivity. Examples include coatings on eyeglasses or semiconductor components in electronics.

Vacuum deposition is a process used to apply thin layers of material onto surfaces in a vacuum environment. This method involves heating a solid material until it evaporates, then allowing the vapor to condense, forming a thin film on a substrate, like glass or metal. This technique is commonly used in industries like electronics, optics, and packaging to create coatings that improve functionality or appearance, such as reflective surfaces or protective layers. The vacuum helps prevent contamination and ensures the coating is uniform and adheres well to the underlying material.
