Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block] Basis of PresentationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Liquidity [Policy Text Block] LiquidityAt December 31, 2022, the Company had $14.4 million in cash and cash equivalents. The Company anticipates that the existing cash and cash equivalents balance together with future income from operations, collections of existing accounts receivable, revenue from its existing backlog of products as of this filing date, the sale of inventory on hand, deposits and down payments against significant orders will be adequate to meet its working capital and capital equipment requirements, and its anticipated cash needs over the next 12 months from the date of issuance of the accompanying Form 10-K.
Reclassification, Comparability Adjustment [Policy Text Block] ReclassificationsIn addition, certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net (loss) income.
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block] Principles of ConsolidationThe consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CVD Equipment Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] Use of EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.The Company’s significant estimates are the accounting for certain items such as revenues on long-term contracts recognized on the input method, valuation of inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value; allowance for doubtful accounts receivable; valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, estimated lives and impairment considerations of long-lived assets and valuation of stock-based compensation.
Revenue from Contract with Customer [Policy Text Block] Revenue RecognitionIn accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606“), the Company records revenue in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for goods or services promised to its customers. Under ASC 606, the Company follows a five-step model to: (1) identify the contract with the customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price for the contract; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (5) recognize revenue using one of the following two methods:Over timeThe Company designs, manufactures and sells specialized chemical vapor deposition equipment through contractual agreements. These system sales require the Company to deliver functioning equipment that is generally completed within three to twelve months from commencement of order acceptance. The Company recognizes revenue from system sales over time by using an input method based on costs incurred as it depicts the Company’s progress toward satisfaction of the performance obligation. Under this method, revenue arising from fixed price contracts is recognized as work is performed based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligations. Incurred costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as supplies, tools, repairs and depreciation costs. Contract material costs are included in incurred costs when the project materials have been purchased or moved to work in process, and installed, as required by the project’s engineering design. Cost-based input methods of revenue recognition require the Company to make estimates of costs to complete the projects. In making such estimates, significant judgment is required to evaluate assumptions related to the costs to complete the projects, including materials, labor and other system costs. If the estimated total costs on any contract are greater than the net contract revenues, the Company recognizes the entire estimated loss in the period the loss becomes known and can be reasonably estimated. There were no material impairment losses recognized on contract assets during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.The timing of revenue recognition, billings and collections results in receivables, unbilled receivables (referred to as contract assets) and contract liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. Under typical payment terms for our contracts accounted for over time, amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, either at periodic intervals or upon achievement of contractual milestones.Under ASC 606, payments received from customers in excess of revenue recognized to-date results in a contract liability. These contract liabilities are not considered to represent a significant financing component of the contract because we believe these cash advances and deposits are generally used to meet working capital demands which can be higher in the earlier stages of a contract. Also, advanced payments and deposits provide us with some measure of assurance that the customer will perform on its obligations under the contract.Contract assets include unbilled amounts typically resulting from system sales under contracts and represents revenue recognized that exceeds the amount billed to the customer.Contract liabilities include advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized. The Company typically receives down payments upon receipt of order and progress payments as the system is manufactured.Contract assets and contract liabilities are classified as current as these contracts in progress are expected to be substantially completed within the next twelve months.Point in timeFor non-system sales of products and services, revenue is recognized at the point in time when control of the promised products or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products or services (the transaction price). A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product or service to a customer and is the unit of account under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”.
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block] InventoriesInventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on the first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value.
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block] Income TaxesDeferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities, as measured by using the future enacted tax rates. Deferred tax expense (benefit) is the result of changes in the deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that future tax benefits will not be utilized based on a lack of sufficient positive evidence.Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities, as measured by using the future enacted tax rates. Deferred tax expense (benefit) is the result of changes in the deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that future tax benefits will not be utilized based on a lack of sufficient positive evidence.The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) we determine whether it is more likely than not the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position and (2) for those positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, we recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.The Company’s policy for global intangible low taxed income (“GILTI”) is to treat such amounts as a period cost when incurred.
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Including Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block] Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and IntangiblesLong-lived assets consist primarily of property, plant, and equipment. Intangibles consist of patents, copyrights and intellectual property, licensing agreements and certifications. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate their carrying value may not be recoverable. When such events or circumstances arise, an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows produced by the asset, or the appropriate grouping of assets, is compared to the asset’s carrying value to determine if impairment exists pursuant to the requirements of the FASB ASC 360-10-35, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” If the asset is determined to be impaired, the impairment loss is measured on the excess of its carrying value over its fair value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying value or net realizable value.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block] Property, Plant and EquipmentProperty, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is determined on a straight-line basis for buildings and building improvements over 5 to 39 years and for machinery and equipment over 5 to 8 years. Depreciation and amortization of assets used in manufacturing are recorded in cost of revenue. Depreciation and amortization of all other assets are recorded as operating expenses.
Intangible Assets, Finite-Lived, Policy [Policy Text Block] Intangible AssetsThe cost of intangible assets is being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated initial useful lives which ranged from 5 to 20 years.
Research and Development Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block] Research and developmentResearch and development costs are expensed as incurred and include charges for the development of new technology and transition of existing technology into new products.
Standard Product Warranty, Policy [Policy Text Block] Product WarrantyThe Company typically provides standard warranty coverage on its systems for one year from the date of final acceptance or fifteen months from the date of shipment by providing labor and parts necessary to repair the systems during the warranty period. The Company records the estimated warranty cost when revenue is recognized on the related system. Warranty cost is included in “Cost of revenue” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The estimated warranty cost is based on the Company’s historical cost. The Company updates its warranty estimates based on actual costs incurred.
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block] Earnings Per ShareBasic earnings per common share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. When applicable, diluted earnings per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, consisting of shares that might be adjusted upon exercise of common stock options, unvested restricted shares and warrants.Potential common shares issued are calculated using the treasury stock method, which recognizes the use of proceeds that could be obtained upon the exercise of options and warrants in computing diluted earnings per share. It assumes that any proceeds would be used to purchase common stock at the average market price of the common stock during the period.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block] Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Company had cash and cash equivalents of $14.4 million and $16.7 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company invests excess cash in treasury bills, certificates of deposit or deposit accounts, all with maturities of less than three months. Cash equivalents were $11.7 million and $7.0 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.The Company places most of its temporary cash investments with financial institutions, which from time to time may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit. The amount in excess of the limit at December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $1.5 million and $8.6 million respectively. The Company’s cash in our Denmark subsidiary exceeded the government guarantee limit by approximately $0.5 million and $0.4 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block] Concentration of Credit RiskFinancial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash equivalents with financial institutions and invests its excess cash primarily in treasury bills, certificates of deposit or deposit accounts. The Company has established guidelines relative to credit ratings and maturities that seek to maintain stability and liquidity.The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and maintains allowances for anticipated losses based upon historical experience.The Company sells products and services to various companies across several industries in the ordinary course of business. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations to assess the probability of accounts receivable collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction experience, evaluation of their credit history and review of the invoicing terms of the contract to determine the financial strength of its customers. The Company has accounts receivables from certain customers that exceed 10%. As of December 31, 2022, the accounts receivable balance includes amounts from two customers that totals 66% of total accounts receivable, and as of December 31, 2021, two customers totaled 50% of total accounts receivable.Accounts receivable is presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $36,000 and $59,000 as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The allowance is based on historical experience and management’s evaluation of the collectability of accounts receivable. Management believes the allowance is adequate. However, future estimates may fluctuate based on changes in economic and customer conditions. The Company does not require collateral from its customers.
Sales Concentrations, Policy [Policy Text Block] Sales ConcentrationsRevenue to a single customer in any one year can exceed 10% of our total sales. There was one customer in the year ended December 31, 2022 that represented 29.2% of our revenues, while there were no customers that exceed 10% of total sales in the year ended December 31, 2021. The loss of a large customer could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial condition.Export sales to customers represented approximately 17% and 26% of sales for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Export sales in both 2022 and 2021 were primarily to customers in Europe and Asia. All contracts except those entered into by the Company’s subsidiary in Denmark are denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company has not entered into any foreign exchange contracts.
Supplier Risk [Policy Text Block] Supplier RiskThe Company relies on suppliers to manufacture many of the components and subassemblies used in its products. Quality or performance failures of the Company’s products or changes in its manufacturers’ financial or business condition could disrupt the Company’s ability to supply quality products to its customers and thereby have a material and adverse effect on its business and operating results. Some of the components and technologies used in the Company’s products are purchased and licensed from a single source or a limited number of sources. The loss of any of these suppliers may cause the Company to incur additional transition costs, result in delays in the manufacturing and delivery of its products or cause it to carry excess or obsolete inventory and could cause it to redesign its products.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block] Fair Value of Financial InstrumentsThe carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, contract assets and contract liabilities approximate fair value due to the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of long-term debt approximates fair value based on prevailing borrowing rates currently available for loans with similar terms and maturities.
Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Policy Text Block] Stock-Based CompensationThe Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions set forth in ASC 718, “Stock Compensation”. ASC 718 requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based upon the grant date fair value of those awards over the vesting period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to compute the estimated fair value of option awards and includes assumptions regarding expected volatility, expected option term, dividend yields and risk-free interest rates.
Shipping and Handling, Policy [Policy Text Block] Shipping and HandlingIt is the Company’s policy to include freight charges billed to customers in total revenue. The amount included in revenue was $87,000 and $30,000 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] Recently Issued Accounting Standards In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), which require that financial assets measured at amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected. The income statement reflects the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as the increase or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. On November 15, 2019, the FASB delayed the effective date for smaller reporting companies. The amendments in this update are now effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and interim periods within those annual periods. Management believes that the adoption of this new standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.The Company believes there is no additional new accounting guidance adopted, but not yet effective that is relevant to the readers of our financial statements. However, there are numerous new proposals under development which, if and when enacted, may have a significant impact on our financial reporting.
