by Physical Vapor Deposition is a vacuum coating process used to deposit thin films by the condensation of a vaporized form of the material onto various type of substrates. In the PVD process, the material to be deposited is vaporized by different deposition techniques such as sputtering, evaporation, and arc vaporization. The main advantages of PVD coatings are its ability to coat intricate parts uniformly and create ultra-hard thin films. PVD coatings are used in various applications such as microelectronics, data storage, cutting tools, medical equipment, decorative applications and solar products.
The global Physical Vapor Deposition Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 18.9 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.5% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
