The MEGA coating system (multi-source magnetron sputtering system) enables the production of new types of metallic or ceramic coatings in monolithic, graded or multi-layer arrangements using 7 ...

“You can never be too rich or too thin,” the saying goes, and when it comes to coatings, it’s true that thinner is often better. The way to truly thin coatings, ones that are sometimes only a few ...

The planar magnetron is a typical diode mode sputtering cathode consisting of a permanent magnet array behind it. This magnet array is organized in such a fashion to provide a magnetic field that is ...

Thin films play a crucial role in the fabrication of several components and devices, such as protective coatings, integrated circuits, solar cells, and optical ...

Sputtering targets are the source materials for the preparation of sputtered thin films. In particular, high-purity sputtering targets are used in the physical vapor deposition (PVD) process for the ...
