Arc Physical Vapour Deposition (aPVD)

Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) is characterized by the creation of a metal

vapour that can be reacted with different gases to form a thin film coating.

The most common PVD method used today is arc deposition.

E Beam Physical Vapour Deposition

I Holland’s PharmaCote CN Technology

‘E Beam’ PVD is when atomised material is evaporated by an Electron Beam

instead of an arc like standard PVD.

This process gives a very smooth coating due to the way the particles are

evaporated from the target. This can be performed without causing large

droplets to form.
