Hi, my doctoral work is related with zirconia nanolayers thin coatings produced by Magnetron Sputtering. I have an ZrO2 - Y2O3 target. Once I place the target...
This can happen when the targets are pressed powder and not bonded or adequately cooled. The questions I might ask when diagnosing where the problem is coming...
Hi Clara! What is happening is due to the preferencial sputtering of the oxygen. Your sputtering target gets dark color just because the zirconium quantity ...
Hello everybody, A customer of ours asked us to vapor metallize a thick Al layer on PET and a thick Cu layer on the top of the Al. Does anybody have an...

Hi, Everybody, I want to use rf magnetron to generate oxygen plasma to remove a thin Oleic acid layer (1.5 nm) on the substrate surface. I'm not sure which...
Clara, Unfortunately most oxide targets are very fragile to begin with and the thermal conductivity through the target width is usually very poor. Generally...

Dear Clara, As far as the cracking is concerned, its a common problem with fragile targets. The best remedy will be to indium bond onto a copper backing plate...

Hi, I have been trying to sputter NiMnGa without success. I could not strike the plasma. Since it is a magnetic material, it may short circuit the magnetic...
Senthil, Typically the manufacturer of the sputter gun will offer high strength magnet assemblies to sputter magnetic material. If your gun is a standard...

It's likely that your magnetic field is still too weak. It lights at high pressure just because the increased neutral density decreases the mean-free-path for...

Dear Senthil, It seems to be that the target thickness for your cathode magnet array is too big. You must further decrease the target thickness. For ordinary...
If the magnetic field is adequate (minimum of 100 gauss parallel to the target surface at target thickness in my experience), a couple approaches the...
