What are the Challenges Associated with Pulsed Arc Evaporation?
Despite its advantages, PAE also presents some challenges:
1. Equipment Cost: The high-voltage power supplies and vacuum systems required for PAE can be expensive. 2. Complexity: The process parameters need to be carefully controlled to achieve the desired film properties, which can be complex and time-consuming. 3. Target Material: Not all materials can be easily evaporated using PAE, limiting its applicability for certain substances.
