5. Conclusion

Ion deposition techniques enable us to obtain :

• very loyal ;

• with good covering power ;

• with low porosity;

can be considered as the techniques of choice in certain fields of electronics and in mechanical surface treatments.

In electronics, they should be able to replace chemical deposits for the metallization of polyepoxide substrates used to make printed circuits. They can also be used in hybrid microelectronics for metallization of ceramic substrates or passive elements.

In the field of surface treatments, they can be used to produce anti-corrosion or anti-wear deposits in particular. The first application is related to the good covering power of the deposit, its continuity, whatever the...
