Sputtering System
Application
Monolayers
Multilayers
Magnetic layers
Optical layers
Sputtering is a process whereby atoms are ejected from a solid target material due to bombardment by high-energy particles. Today, it’s a more mature process, usage is widespread and the technology used is quickly advancing.
The vacuum system of a sputter coater is more Like all coaters, a base pressure in the high-vacuum range is required
All types of machines
