Deposition Technology
Description Pros Cons
Evaporation Formation of a film by the boiling or sublimation of a source material followed by condensation on a target substrate.
Wide range of materials. Very good for metal and organic deposition.
Dissimilar materials may require markedly varying source technology.
Sputtering Ejection of atoms from a target material via momentum transfer of bombarding ions to the surface of the target.
Fast, low temperature deposition possible. Wide range of multi-component materials.
Potential for ion damage of underlying films.
PECVD Deposition of thin-films from a gas state via the reaction of chemical constituents within a reactive plasma.
Excellent control of stochiometry. High deposition rates (esp. with elevated T)
Requires specialized precursor materials. Control of film density at low T problematic.
ALD Gas phase deposition which breaks the chemical formation of thin films into two discrete half reactions.
Exceptional thickness control and step coverage. Process T as low as ambient.
Low deposition rate.

Reliability Testing Methods and Equipment
Reliability Testing Parameters • Air to air temperature cycling (-
20°C to +60°C, 30 min dwell) • Liquid to liquid thermal shock (-
20°C to +60°C, 5 min dwell) • Flexure (30 degree off-axis bend) • Humidity exposure (60°C at 90%
R.H.) • Oxygen exposure • Solvent resistance (Bleach, water,
ammonia, etc.) • Tearing, crumpling, crushing
Reliability is application specific
