    摘要: A sputtering target monitoring system (20) for monitoring the status of a sputtering source target (22) during the sputtering process. The collection of data is initiated based on measured voltages in the sputtering source target (22), whereas the arcing count is determined based on current spikes or interruptions to the current in the sputtering source target (22) during the sputtering process. The real time data collected during the sputtering process is recorded and displayed in table or graphical format at any time during the sputtering process. Thus, problems in the sputtering process, or in the sputtering source (22), including an approaching end of life of the target may be easily ascertained. Alarms, messages or other indicators may be used to alert operators to problems or conditions during the sputtering process.

    摘要: A non-contact system and method for measuring an article surface, like a surface (or portion thereof) of a sputtering target assembly, are provided. For instance, the method includes scanning a surface with a sensing beam, and measuring the distance traveled by the sensing beam reflected from the surface, to a sensing device. The system can include a sensing device for collecting surface data at a plurality of points on the surface, and an analyzing device for analyzing the collected data.

    摘要: A method for non-destructively detecting the presence of banded regions in a metal is described. The method involves sending an ultrasonic wave into the metal and obtaining reflected signals. The reflected signals are compared with each other to determine variations in signal intensity. A banded region within the metal can be observed as a weaker reflected signal than a reflected backwall signal, thus accurately identifying a location of banding within the metal. Metal articles with a low percent of banding are also described.
