    Abstract: A versatile high throughput deposition apparatus includes a process chamber and a workpiece platform in the process chamber. The workpiece platform can hold a plurality of workpieces around a center region and to rotate the plurality of workpieces around the center region. Each of the plurality of workpieces includes a deposition surface facing the center region. A gas distribution system can distribute a vapor gas in the center region of the process chamber to deposit a material on the deposition surfaces on the plurality of workpieces. A magnetron apparatus can form a closed-loop magnetic field near the plurality of workpieces. The plurality of workpieces can be electrically biased to produce a plasma near the deposition surfaces on the plurality of workpieces.

    Abstract: A plasma deposition apparatus includes a first plasma source that can produce a first plasma confined in a magnetic field, which includes: a gas distribution device configured to supply a gas, a closed-loop electrode defining a center region therein and a central axis through the central region and one or more magnets that are outside an inner surface of the closed-loop electrode. The one or more magnets can produce the magnetic field in the center region. The closed-loop electrode and the one or more magnets can produce the first plasma of activated atoms, molecules, electrons, and ions from the gas. A collimator can collimate the activated atoms, molecules, electrons, and ions produced by the first plasma source and direct the ions to a substrate.
