Magnetron Ion Sputtering Coating Machine is a physical vapor deposition (PVD) system. It use to deposit thin films of various materials on the surface of substrates. The tools needed for this process are as follows: Vacuum chambers for target materials 、substrates, as well as ion sources and magnetrons.
A magnetron generates a magnetic field that traps electrons. The ion source is use to ionize inert gas, such as argon, and accelerate the ions toward the target. When the ions hit the markers, they knock atoms off the surface. Atoms pass through a vacuum chamber and are deposite onto a substrate. Finally, a thin film coating is form.
Magnetron ion sputtering is a precise and controllable process. Can be use to deposit a wide variety of materials. Includes metals, alloys, oxides and nitrides. It is commonly used in the production of various products. Including semiconductor devices, optical coatings and decorative coatings.
Here are some key features of a Magnetron Ion Sputtering Coating Machine:
