Plasma-enhanced CVD (PECVD) involves the generation of a plasma ... and the deposited material is often different from the gaseous precursors due to the chemical reactions involved. PVD Coatings: Tend ...

PVD methods offer high purity, good adhesion, and the ability to deposit a wide range of materials. CVD involves the chemical reaction of gaseous precursors on a heated substrate to form a thin film.

The CATc is widely used for analyzing coatings with thicknesses between 0.1 μm and 50 μm. Typical measured materials include CVD, PVD, plasma spray coatings, anodic oxidation layers, chemical and ...
