Ion Beam Assisted Deposition- R&D to Production
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 February 2011
Abstract
Ion Beam Assisted Deposition (IBAD) involves vacuum deposition processes which incorporate concurrent energetic ion bombardment and material deposition. The effects of the ions are to promote adhesion, densify the films, and to help chemically incorporate reactive ions into the coatings. Examples of IBAD studies that have progressed from R&D to production status are presented with a discussion of the technical and marketing factors influencing their commercial acceptance.
