What is Electron Beam Evaporation?

Blog / By

Electron Beam Evaporation (E-Beam Evaporation) is a precise Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) process used for applying high-density, thin coatings to substrates. E-Beam Evaporation operates under high vacuum conditions and employs a focused electron beam to evaporate the coating material (source material), which is then deposited onto a substrate.[1] This deposition method is essential for industries
