What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

Physical vapor deposition systems are a class of thin-film deposition tools used in semiconductor fabrication, typically employing sputtering or evaporation to deposit metal layers onto wafers.

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

In a PVD tool, a target material is bombarded with energetic ions in a vacuum chamber, causing atoms to be ejected and deposited onto the wafer surface to form a thin film.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

PVD systems are commonly used in semiconductor fabrication for depositing metal layers such as aluminum, copper, or titanium that form interconnect lines, contact barriers, or seed layers.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

PVD is employed in the fabrication of integrated circuits for forming conductive films, diffusion barriers, and anti-reflective coatings on silicon wafers.
