Fa'agata ausa fa'aletino (Physical Vapor Deposition, PVD) tekonolosi e fa'atatau i le fa'aogaina o metotia fa'aletino i lalo o tulaga gaogao e fa'asao ai luga o se puna mea (malosi po'o vai) i ni kasa po'o mole mole, po'o se vaega o le ionize i ions, ma pasi atu i le kasa maualalo (po o le plasma). Fa'agasologa, o se tekonolosi mo le teuina o se ata manifinifi ma se galuega fa'apitoa i luga o se mea fa'apipi'i, ma le fa'aputuina o le ausa fa'aletino o se tasi lea o tekonolosi fa'apitoa mo togafitiga. PVD (fa'aletino ausa fa'aletino) fa'atekonolosi fa'apipi'i e masani ona vaevaeina i ni vaega se tolu: fa'amama fa'amama fa'afu, fa'afufu fa'afufu fa'afufu ma fa'apipi'i ion.
O a matou oloa e masani ona faʻaaogaina i le vevela vevela ma le faʻafefe o le faʻafefe. O oloa o loʻo faʻaaogaina i le faʻaogaina o le ausa e aofia ai uaea tungsten strand, vaʻa tungsten, vaʻa molybdenum, ma vaʻa tantalum o oloa o loʻo faʻaaogaina i le uila eletise eletise o le cathode tungsten wire, copper crucible, tungsten crucible, ma molybdenum processing parts O oloa e faʻaaogaina i le sputtering coating e aofia ai le titanium targets, ma le tichromtanium targets.
