“…To obtain good vacuum conditions the entire reel to be coated must be placed inside the vacuum chamber. The volume of vacuum chambers for industrial vacuum web coating must therefore be 15-20 m 3 . To achieve the required vacuum conditions in such large vacuum chambers after short pumping time and to keep them for the whole process, high-performance pumping units with diffusion pumps and mechanical roughing pumps are required.…”

E-beam evaporators have the benefit of higher evaporation temperatures than resistance evaporators and it is also possible to evaporate materials, for example Ni, B, and Co, which alloy or react chemically when using resistance evaporators [3]. A disadvantage of e-beam evaporators is that substantially more complex instrumentation is required for process control.…”

Vacuum metallization is the process of coating a substrate with a thin metal layer under high-vacuum conditions. This process is often simply referred to as ''metallizing''. The coating of web materials is referred to as vacuum web coating.For more than 25 years, vacuum metallization of polymer webs with aluminum has been carried out on an industrial scale. Initially used to coat PVC for decorative purposes, the metallization of synthetic materials is today first and foremost used to produce functional coatings [1]. In the course of the past few years, metals other than aluminum have gained increasing importance in the metallization of polymer webs. The development of the metallization process was, and still is, subject to two requirements, namely higher quality and lower cost. Higher quality means:Higher conductivity (higher thickness and/or greater density of the metal film) Smoother surfaces (essentially because of the surface of the film substrate) Better homogeneity of metal film thickness Fewer defects in the metal layer (holes because of spitting during metallization) Fewer defects in the reel-winding process (creases) Improved barrier properties Costs can be reduced by means of:Greater reel length/diameter Greater web width Higher web speed Shorter downtime This chapter addresses, in particular, the process of vacuum metallization of flexible substrates with aluminum and copper and the respective machine requirements. Importance will also be attached to the properties of the layers produced and their applications, especially for organic electronics and packaging.

“…For the aimed thickness range, we decided for the dissolving of polyvinyl formal in dichloroethane and dipping the glass backing in the solution, as described by Muggleton [7]. Tests with spin coated Formvar layers on glass did not result in the wanted thickness as the solution dried too quickly.…”

Self-supporting layers of metal and metal oxides are the most desirable form of targets and films for heavy-ion applications. If the self-supporting film cannot be produced in the wanted size or thickness, then typically a thin, self-supporting carbon backing is employed. But nevertheless there are applications where carbon as a backing does not offer the optimal properties as a backing. Then very often plastic backings are wanted. Several plastics are available commercially as a standard backing with very good quality and homogeneity. We report on the deposition of metals and metal oxides on various backings, when a standard commercial alternative is not available.
