    摘要: An end-block for electrically energising a rotatable tubular target in a vacuum coating installation is disclosed. The end-block has a rotary electrical contact that reduces the joule heating effects when operating in alternating current mode. When compared to known end-blocks, this is achieved by increasing the number of contact areas between a contacting ring and a series of circumferentially mounted contacting shoes. Also the contact shoes are being pressed radially outwardly by means of resilient elements against the contacting ring.

    摘要: A single, right-angled end-block is claimed for rotatably carrying a target in a sputtering apparatus. The end-block comprises all necessary means to drive, energise, bear and seal (coolant and gas) the target in the sputtering apparatus from the outside through a single opening in a wall or door. The right-angled end-block rotates the target around an axis of rotation that is parallel to the wall on which the target is mounted. By preference the end-block is situated below the target in order to allow easy drainage of the coolant.

    摘要: An end-block for use in a tubular magnetron sputtering apparatus is disclosed. Such an end-block rotatably transfers movement, coolant 5 and electrical current to the target while maintaining vacuum integrity and a closed coolant circuit. It hence comprises a drive means, a rotary electrical contact means, a bearing means, a number of rotary coolant seal means and a number of vacuum seal means. The inventive end-block occupies a minimal axial length along the target thus allowing 10 space savings in existing equipment such as e.g. display coaters. The axial length is reduced by mounting at least two of the means radial to one another.

    摘要: A sputtering method and apparatus having at least one set of dual rotatable cylindrical sputtering targets mounted in a vacuum chamber. Magnet assemblies in hollow target cylinders provide erosion zones running long the parallel sides of a racetrack that act as target flux sources towards a substrate. These parallel erosion zones have a highly concentrated plasma density for rapid sputtering of the target and any reactive material. Features include the angular distance between normals to adjacent parallel erosion zones, the angle greater than 45° subtended at the center of the cylindrical target, placement of the substrate with respect to the targets, and pointing angles (orientation or tilt) of the racetracks toward the substrate and/or each other. These parameters form a relatively wide and efficient constant flux deposition region at the substrate, and allows for high deposition rates at constant reactive gas partial pressures with substantially uniform film stoichiometry and thickness.

    摘要: A coating apparatus is revealed that is designed to coat substrates by means of a physical vacuum deposition process or a chemical vacuum deposition process or a combination thereof. Said coating apparatus is particular in that it uses a rotatable magnetron (14) that is coverable with an axially moveable shutter (18). Such an arrangement enables to keep the magnetron target clean or to clean the target in between or even during subsequent coating steps. The shutter further provides for a controllable gas atmosphere in the vicinity of the target. The arrangement wherein the magnetron is centrally placed is described. Substrates are then exposed to the sputtering source from all angles by hanging them on a planetary carousel (24) that turns around the magnetron.

    摘要: The invention relates to a vacuum sputter reactor comprising a rotatable vacuum tight coupling. The coupling comprises a first tubular section in the form of a spindle, and a second tubular section in the form of a cylindrical target, axially slidable over the first tubular section to abut against a peripheral outer abutment ring. The coupling further comprising at least one sealing ring located between the outer diameter of the first tubular section and the inner diameter of the second tubular section in a sliding overlapping contact area of the first and second tubular sections. The outer diameter of the first tubular section is generally parallel to the opposing surface of the inner wall of the second tubular section from the sealing ring to the end of the first tubular section. The coupling further comprising a clamping ring with a substantially cylindrical outer surface in order to place cylindrical shields closely to the clamping ring, the clamping ring being composed of clamping elements, each clamp element having a semi-circular or U-shaped cross-section with an inwardly oriented recess. The recess encloses the abutment ring and a flange extremity on the second tubular section, and the recess cooperating with the flange extremity to positively, solidly and axially clamp the abutment ring against the flange extremity. The clamp elements are fixed to each other at their extremities with fixing means comprising in at least one place on the clamping ring bolting means, the axis of which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the coupled tubular sections and substantially tangential to the clamping ring periphery.
