摘要:
Cathode sputtering apparatus having a hollow cathode on the magnetron principle with a cathode base (5) in which a hollow target (9) with a cylindrical sputtering surface (10) and a cylindrical outer surface is disposed. The cathode base (5) has a cooling passage (6). The target is externally surrounded by a magnet system (18) with magnet poles for the production of a rotationally symmetrical tunnel of magnetic lines of force closed on the circumference and over the sputtering surface. Outside of the space surrounded by the sputtering surface (10) there is disposed at least one anode (3, 4). A transport path for a substrate to be coated passes through the target (9) and the at least one anode.The cooling passage (6) is sealed off from the target (9) by a wall (7). Due to a narrow clearance, as soon as the target (9) reaches its operating temperature it comes in thermal contact with the wall (7). The [north] pole faces (N) of the magnet system (18) are on one side and the other [south] pole faces (S) lie on the other side of the end faces of the target (9) and radially on a radius which is equal to or greater than the radius of the sputtering surface (10). The magnet system (18) is held at a freely adjustable ("floating") potential in operation by insulating spaces (11, 19, 10).
摘要:
A magnetron cathode for sputtering ferromagnetic targets. The magnet system consists of magnet poles of opposite polarity lying one within the other disposed on a basic cathode body. Between the target and the pole shoes, which consist of target material, two circumferential air gaps in the direction of the depth of the system are formed. The surfaces of projection of the magnet poles and target do not overlap. For the purpose of making the target ablation uniform while simultaneously achieving high sputtering rates, the pole shoes are separated, in accordance with the invention, each by a distance S from the magnet poles. The magnet poles lie in an area which runs from a plane passing through the sputtering surface in the direction of the depth of the system. Between the pole shoes and the target, on the one hand, and the magnet poles on the other, there is disposed a thermally conductive metal body which is in communication with at least one coolant passage and consists of a nonferromagnetic material.

A magnetron cathode for cathodic evaporation apparatus with a target holder (10) for releasably securing a plate-like target (9). The associated magnet arrangement (7) has pole faces (7c, 7d) for producing at least one circumferentially closed tunnel of magnetic field lines which overlaps the target. The magnet arrangement (7) is accommodated in a housing of non-ferromagnetic material which extends over the pole faces. To increase the utilization factor of the target material without the pole faces or housing parts participating in the atomization process,(a) the projections of the target (9 ) and the pole faces (7c, 7d) in a common plane parallel to the target face (9a) do not intersect each other,(b) in the zone of the pole faces (7c, 7d), the housing (16) is extended in the atomization direction in front of the target face (9a) or in the extreme case lies in the plane of the target face (9a), and(c) the housing (16) together with the magnet system (7) is electrically insulated as regards both the target holder (10) and earth (4).
摘要:
A sputtering cathode for the coating of substrates. The cathode has a base, a target of nonmagnetic material, and a magnet system having exposed pole faces for the production of a tunnel of magnetic lines of force overarching the sputtering surface. The target is provided with at least two continuous projections lying one inside the other, which contain at least one sputtering surface between them, and have confronting wall surfaces. The pole faces are located on both sides of the projections and sputtering surface between them such that magnetic lines of force issue perpendicularly from the one wall surface and, after crossing the sputtering surface, re-enter perpendicularly the opposite wall surface. The magnet system has permanent magnets magnetized parallel to the projections, which are yoked together on the sides facing away from the projections by a soft-magnetic base, and are provided on the sides facing the projections with soft-magnetic pole shoes extending over at least a part of the height of the projections.
摘要:
The invention relates to an apparatus for producing a plasma and treating substrates therein. The plasma produced by means of microwaves serves to coat a substrate which is situated in a chamber (5) having metal walls (6,7,12,13). The microwaves are repeatedly reflected at the metal walls (6,7,12,13), so that the chamber (5) has numerous microwave modes. By means of permanent magnets, which are placed either inside the chamber (5) or outside the chamber (5) in the vicinity of the substrate that is to be coated, it is possible to produce within this chamber (5) an electron-cyclotron resonance which permits a locally controlled ignition of the plasma.

Such switches have current connections for contacts. One contact may be a fixed contact and the other contact may be a mobile contact. A drive opens the mobile contact when a predetermined electric current intensity is exceeded. The electric drive is a thermoelectric drive. For that purpose, the contacts (2,3) are arranged in a closed housing (1) made of an insulating material and a disk-shaped resistive member (4) is arranged between the contacts (2,3). A switch of this type may also be advantageously designed as a bistable limiter.

摘要:
Switching components with contact parts that are mounted on a contact carrier in a switch housing may include devices for monitoring the contact erosion. The contact carrier may be split (sub-divided) and contact parts can be slotted at the rear and mounted on the sub-divided contact carrier. Thus, the oscillation response (vibration response) of the contact carrier in particular can be used as a measure of the erosion of the contact parts.
