sputtering

listen to the pronunciation of sputtering
English - English
The ejection of atoms from the surface of a solid or liquid following bombardment with ions, atoms or molecules; used to prepare a thin layer of material on an object
Present participle of sputter
The process of depositing thin film in a vacuum by generating a plasma which bombards a target and ejects the particles at the atomic level by momentum transfer
Depositing a layer of metal from a fine meta or alloy target through a dielectric gas onto a part
the noise of something spattering or sputtering explosively; "he heard a spatter of gunfire"
Bombarding metal surface with positive ions to form fine-grained coating on surface
A form of physical vapor deposition (PVD) often used for deposition of metal films Sputtering involves knocking metal atoms off a disc of pure metal with charged, energetic, chemically inactive atoms called ions (from a plasma) The metal atoms will re-deposit onto the wafer to build up the desired metal film back to top
emitting or making sporadic spitting or popping sounds; "the sputtering engine"; "spluttering electric arcs"
A vacuum method of depositing a very consistent thin magnetic film on substrate surfaces
Sputtering is the impact of high speed atomic particles on surfaces of materials These impacts can cause chemical changes on the target material and/or knock components of the surface free
