    Abstract: A deposition chamber is provided. The deposition chamber includes a plurality of sputter guns disposed within the chamber, wherein the plurality of sputter guns are operable to vertically extend and retract within the chamber and wherein each gun of the plurality of sputter guns is pivotable around a pivot axis. The chamber includes a substrate support rotatable around a first axis and a second axis and a plate disposed over the substrate support. The plate has a plurality of apertures extending therethrough. The plurality of apertures includes an aperture located below each sputter gun of the plurality of sputter guns and a centrally located aperture.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include nonvolatile memory elements and memory devices comprising the nonvolatile memory elements. Methods for forming the nonvolatile memory elements are also disclosed. The nonvolatile memory element comprises a first electrode layer, a second electrode layer, and a plurality of layers of an oxide disposed between the first and second electrode layers. One of the oxide layers has linear resistance and substoichiometric composition, and the other oxide layer has bistable resistance and near-stoichiometric composition. Preferably, the sum of the two oxide layer thicknesses is between about 20 Å and about 100 Å, and the oxide layer with bistable resistance has a thickness between about 25% and about 75% of the total thickness. In one embodiment, the oxide layers are formed using reactive sputtering in an atmosphere with controlled flows of argon and oxygen.

    Abstract: A sputter gun assembly is provided. The sputter gun assembly includes a target and a target backing plate coupled to the back of the target. A magnetron is positioned within a cooling chamber and is disposed over the target backing plate and defines a gap between the magnetron and the target backing plate. A fluid inlet and a fluid outlet are connected to the cooling chamber. A restriction bar is positioned within the cooling chamber, wherein the restriction bar is configured to prevent a flow of fluid through the inlet to the outlet unless the fluid traverses the gap defined between the magnetron and the target backing plate. The sputter gun assembly further includes a diverter surrounding the magnetron. The diverter further includes slots in its surface that serve to direct cooling fluid through the gap formed between defined between the magnetron and the target backing plate.
