1. Lower sedimentation temperature
Low temperature process: PECVD utilizes plasma to excite gas reactions and can achieve deposition at lower temperatures (usually between 100 ° C and 400 ° C), which is particularly important for temperature sensitive substrates such as organic materials, plastics, and certain metals.
Thermal sensitive substrate protection: Depositing at lower temperatures can avoid thermal damage to the substrate and protect its physical and chemical properties.
2. High sedimentation rate
Accelerating process time: PECVD usually has a high deposition rate, which can complete the deposition of thick films in a short time and improve production efficiency.
Suitable for large-scale production: Due to high sedimentation rate, The PECVD process is suitable for large-scale manufacturing, increasing output and reducing production costs.
3. Film density and uniformity
High density: PECVD deposited films are usually denser, with lower porosity and higher corrosion resistance and insulation properties.
Good uniformity: Utilizing the uniform excitation of plasma, PECVD can achieve uniform thin film deposition on large-area substrates, making it suitable for the manufacturing of large-sized devices.
4. Excellent thin film properties
Stress control: The PECVD process can control the stress of thin films by adjusting plasma conditions (such as power and gas ratio), avoiding film cracking or warping.
Multi functional thin films: can deposit various functional thin films, such as high k dielectric, low k dielectric, protective layer, passivation layer, and doping layer, to meet different application requirements.

5. Flexible process control
Multi parameter adjustment: PECVD process parameters (such as RF power, gas flow rate, reaction pressure, and temperature) can be flexibly adjusted to accurately control the thickness, composition, and characteristics of the film.
Customized deposition: By adjusting the plasma and reaction conditions, thin films can be customized to meet different process and material requirements.
6. Enhanced adhesion
Excellent adhesion: PECVD deposited films usually have good adhesion and are suitable for deposition on complex structures and multiple substrates.
Surface activation: Plasma can effectively activate the surface of the substrate, improving the interfacial bonding strength between the thin film and the substrate.
7. Reduce pollution and by-products
Cleaning process: The PECVD process produces fewer by-products, which helps to maintain equipment cleanliness, reduce the accumulation of pollutants, and reduce equipment maintenance.
Environmentally friendly: Due to the reaction occurring at low temperatures, the amount of by-products generated is relatively small, and the impact on the environment is relatively small.
8. Multi functional applications
Multiple material deposition: PECVD can be used to deposit various materials, including oxides, nitrides, carbides, and various organic-inorganic composite materials, widely used in fields such as electronics, optoelectronics, solar cells, and sensors.
Composite film structure: capable of depositing multi-layer composite films to meet the needs of complex devices, such as anti reflective coatings, hard coatings, and biocompatible coatings.
