Overview of Sputtering and Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD)

In sputtering, a solid material is bombarded by energetic particles of plasma or gas, causing microscopic particles to eject from the material’s surface. Those particles are then applied as thin films and coatings onto electronic components, such as silicon wafers, through physical vapor deposition (PVD). PVD describes various vacuum deposition processes characterized by the material going from a condensed phase to a vapor phase and then back to a thin film condensed phase. The most common PVD processes are sputtering and evaporation.
