Zusammenfassung:A rotary cylindrical sputtering system incorporates separate, separately-controlled linear magnetron sputter cathode and intense plasma reaction zones for sputter depositing materials such as refractory metals and forming oxides and other compounds and alloys of such materials. The associated process involves rotating or translating workpieces past the differentially pumped, atmospherically separated, sequentially or simultaneously operated cathode and reaction zones and is characterized by the ability to form a wide range of materials, by scaling and high throughput, and by controlled coating thickness, including both constant and selectively varied thickness profiles.
