    摘要: A sputtering apparatus for depositing layers of material onto a substrate includes a vacuum chamber, a first target and a second target positioned within the vacuum chamber. A source of power is placed in electrical communication with the first target and the second target. A switch alternately connects the source of power between the first target and the second target. The first target and the second target are different materials. The switch connects power to the first target when the transport mechanism positions the substrate near the first target and the switch connects power to the second target when the transport mechanism positions the substrate closer to the second target.

    摘要: A modular chamber design for manufacturing magnetic disks is provided. The modular chambers are linearly aligned, have a trapezoidal shape, and are inversely oriented. In this inverse orientation, a chamber can be exchanged and/or removed without first having to laterally move the other chambers to create space on each side of the chamber being moved. Because the modular chamber design decreases the amount of time and labor required to exchange or replace chambers in a disk processing line, disk throughput is increased. Thus, the modular chamber design facilitates faster and more efficient chamber exchange/removal.
