Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) solutions play a crucial role in the field of heterogeneous integration, a process that combines different components with varying functionalities into a single system.
PVD methods, such as sputtering and evaporation, are used to deposit thin films of materials onto substrates, enabling the integration of diverse components on a micro or nano scale. These methods offer high precision, uniformity, and repeatability, making them ideal for applications in microelectronics, photonics, and MEMS.
Heterogeneous integration through PVD can lead to devices with improved performance, reduced size, and lower power consumption. It also opens up possibilities for the integration of novel materials and structures, paving the way for advancements in various fields such as IoT, AI, and healthcare.
However, challenges remain in terms of material compatibility, interface quality, and process control. In this paper, we highlight the various solutions available in Evatec to address some of the challenges in this rapidly growing area.
