Title: Apparatus and method for selective area deposition of thin films on electrically biased substrates

Patent ·
OSTI ID:872320

An ion beam deposition process for selective area deposition on a polarized substrate uses a potential applied to the substrate which allows the ionized particles to reach into selected areas for film deposition. Areas of the substrate to be left uncoated are held at a potential that repells the ionized particles.
