High power impulse magnetron sputtering

Description

High power pulsed magnetron sputtering is a method used for the physical deposition of thin films. The HIPIMS produces high power pulses with durations of several tenths of a second. This technique is particularly useful for depositing high-density microstructures. Furthermore, by pre-treating the substrate, it is possible to significantly increase the adhesion of the deposit.

Uses

  • Thin film deposition
  • Hard coatings, optical coatings deposition
