[edit] What is the method for Physical Vapor Deposition?

This article has a short list of applications for Physical Vapor Deposition, but what is the actual method or process for PVD, for example I was curious about how it's used in depositing Indium-Tin Oxide on LCD screens, and what purpose the ITO serves afterwards, and how PVD is the only method suitable to deposit it for this purpose. -TAz69x 08:07, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright violation and fix

The article might have been NPOV, but some how it just read like some of the text came from a commercial document. I ran the phrase ""Cutting fluids cost companies today" and found three other sites with that sentence:

I tagged the article as violating copyright. I went back through the edit histories to see how this got added. I found that in April 2006, Markj2006 added copyrighted material. I have cut and pasted together a new article using the edits before and after his insertions and placed it on the "temporary" page.--A. B. 23:05, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Expert?

Hey wiki-folk, I have a Ph.D. thesis which includes lots of text and graphics that I could contribute to a number of pages, with some modifications. I use PVD equipment all day long (and have for years.) It might make sense to consolidate pages on vacuum evaporation, thin films, and Thin-film deposition or at least interlink them.

I have noticed that my IP address has been blacklisted as a vandal for reasons I don't understand. I believe my wife did try to do an edit once to remove obvious vandalism to a page (Tom Parker Bowles). Is there some way to make the system cool it and understand we aren't vandalizing? drjonfox —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 00:33, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Expert?

Perhaps someone should try contacting Dr Peter Hatto, Director of Research for IonBond Limited. He is well known in the field of Coating Technologies - especially PVD technology. It is also interesting to note that there is no mention of IonBond in this section - they currently have a portfolio of not only PVD but also CVD and PACVD technologies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.20.58.228 (talk) 19:35, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Are the external links suitable? They seem to be just companies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.242.10.37 (talk) 20:55, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] External link opinions

Opinions would be appreciated on whether this link: PVD coatings theory Information about PVD theory and equipment would be an appropriate addition to the article. Thanks. -- SiobhanHansa 21:25, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

No: Although the information appears solid, but (1) authorship is unknown (2) any references to reputable/verifiable sources of the provided information are absent. Therefore this website fails Wikipedia:verifiability criteria. `'Míkka 23:09, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

I will look up the references to the information provided and add it to the PVD coatings website so it meets the wikipedia criteria for verifiability.

I don't know the wikipedia criteria so I welcome other comments. By the way do we need to remove the other external links on the page as well? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.91.83.130 (talk) 13:40, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

I have added references to verifiable sources now. Is the [1] ok now? Thanks very much. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.145.168.41 (talk) 19:33, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
