    Abstract: A deposition system is provided, where conductive targets of similar composition are situated opposing each other. The system is aligned parallel with a substrate, which is located outside the resulting plasma that is largely confined between the two cathodes. A “plasma cage” is formed wherein the carbon atoms collide with accelerating electrons and get highly ionized. The electrons are trapped inside the plasma cage, while the ionized carbon atoms are deposited on the surface of the substrate. Since the electrons are confined to the plasma cage, no substrate damage or heating occurs. Additionally, argon atoms, which are used to ignite and sustain the plasma and to sputter carbon atoms from the target, do not reach the substrate, so as to avoid damaging the substrate.

    Abstract: A physical vapor deposition (PVD) chamber for depositing a transparent and clear hydrogenated carbon, e.g., hydrogenated diamond-like carbon, film. A chamber body is configured for maintaining vacuum condition therein, the chamber body having an aperture on its sidewall. A plasma cage having an orifice is attached to the sidewall, such that the orifice overlaps the aperture. Two sputtering targets are situated on cathodes inside the plasma cage and are oriented opposite each other and configured to sustain plasma there-between and confined inside the plasma cage. The plasma inside the cage sputters material from the targets, which then passes through the orifice and aperture and lands on the substrate. The substrate is moved continuously in a pass-by fashion during the process.

    Abstract: A sputtering system having a processing chamber with an inlet port and an outlet port, and a sputtering target positioned on a wall of the processing chamber. A movable magnet arrangement is positioned behind the sputtering target and reciprocally slides behinds the target. A conveyor continuously transports substrates at a constant speed past the sputtering target, such that at any given time, several substrates face the target between the leading edge and the trailing edge. The movable magnet arrangement slides at a speed that is at least several times faster than the constant speed of the conveyor. A rotating zone is defined behind the leading edge and trailing edge of the target, wherein the magnet arrangement decelerates when it enters the rotating zone and accelerates as it reverses direction of sliding within the rotating zone.
