They design and construct UHV and HV systems fully adapted to the individual requirements of research projects and industrial applications.

Key Features

  • With or without insitu tilt module
  • Range of mounting flanges
  • Chimney as standard
  • Pneumatic dome type or side swing shutter
  • Indirectly cooled

Description

Depending on the required conditions of the sputtering process, we offer 2 types of sources: type B & C.

All types are fully compatible with our M600DC-PS power supply as well as all other DC, RF and pulsed DC power supplies available on the market.

Source type B

The magnetron source type B is used to apply thin layers with high homogeneity in the sputtering process. Compatible with UHV conditions, the source is designed for sputtering magnetic and ferromagnetic materials, operating on up to 7 mm thick targets.
