Thin film deposition by thermal evaporation is a physical vapor deposition (PVD) technique for creating thin films of different materials – such as copper, silver or gold, as well as other materials like silicon dioxide or indium tin oxide – to a surface. Thermal evaporation deposition technique is based on thermal heating of the source material in a high-vacuum chamber (pressure < 10-5 Torr), which increases its vapor pressure and leads to the formation of a thin film of the material on the substrate inside the chamber.
Thermal evaporation systems commonly work through resistive heating of a source holder. The source holders can be in the form of a metallic boat or a basket of refractory wire made of W or Mo covered by aluminum oxide. In the thermal evaporation process the material is evaporated from the boat/basket holder heated by passing a sufficiently high electric current and is deposited on the substrate positioned normally above the sample.
Thermal evaporation offers several key advantages over other coating techniques:
These advantages make thermal evaporation a versatile and powerful tool in the world of thin film technology.
