Here is a Dual ONYX-585 internal magnetron sputtering cathode running a reactive silicon dioxide process using a bipolar pulsed sputtering power supply. Bipolar pulsed power alternates the voltage between positive and negative on each cathode greatly reducing arc formation and enabling a stable stained process free from any disappearing anode effect. It has also been reported to yield very dense films that have improved crystallinity and exhibit lower residual stress.

Cylindrical Magnetrons have long been trusted in the glass coating industry to create uniform thin films while maximizing target utilization. Angstrom Sciences developed a compact, lightweight, and economical cylindrical magnetron specifically designed to offer these same advantages to Flat Panel Display, Solar Cell, and Web Coating applications.

Angstrom Sciences ONYX-3 IC is the Gold Standard in Magnetron Sputtering. The cathode bodies on these magnetron sputtering sources were coated with pure gold to prevent the copper cathode bodies from reacting with the Selenium (Se) target material that was being used to develop a Copper-Indium-Gallium-Selenide, CIGS solar cell absorber layer.

Unbalanced Magnetron Sputtering (UBMS). Key benefit is the increased plasma density near the substrate because of the imbalanced magnetic field. Other benefits include specific thin film properties related to composition, adhesion, crystallization and surface.

Pole Focused magnetron sputtering cathode and two targets; Copper (Cu) and Aluminum (Al). The Pole Focused Magnetron uses a unique magnet design that allows for the use of thick targets in a compact 3.5” (89mm) or 5.0” (125mm) target width. Target thickness is typically .75” (19mm) which will yield run times in the 500 kilowatt hour range. The thick targets along with high material utilization provide extremely long run times between target changes. The anodes and target clamps are also specially engineered to allow for extended deposition cycles without shorting or the need for cleaning between target changes. Applications for the design include overcoat layers for device protection and EMI/ RFI shielding of cables, lab equipment, computers and cell phones.

ONYX 540 Flux Control Electromagnetic Hybrid Magnetron Sputtering Cathode. Angstrom Sciences is known for the cutting edge technology we bring to magnetron sputtering applications. We have developed a method to control the plasma across the surface of the target. The ONYX-Φlux Control, (Flux Control) developed for both planar and circular magnetrons, allows the user to maximize uniformity or target utilization.

Here is a pair of Ultra High Vacuum Linear cathodes with a target size of 50mm wide and 250mm in length. They use metal seals and materials that have very low outgassing rates which will allow the vacuum base pressure to reach into the 10-10 torr range. This will eliminate water v***r and debris in the chamber for ultra-clean, thin film processing.
