Magnetron sputterer

Description

The magnetron sputterer is used to deposit a large range of metals and dielectrics. The particles that impinge on the substrate surface have a higher energy (1 eV) than that obtained by evaporation (0.1 eV), which confers to the films a higher density and a better adhesion. Reactive sputtering is also available with this system, to deposit oxides or nitrides. A hopper provides quick charging of the samples in the deposition chamber.

Uses

  • Thin film deposition of metals and dielectrics
