    Abstract: An ion source that is capable of different modes of operation is disclosed. The ion source includes an insertable target holder includes a hollow interior into which the solid dopant material is disposed. The target holder may a porous surface at a first end, through which vapors from the solid dopant material may enter the arc chamber. The porous surface inhibits the passage of liquid or molten dopant material into the arc chamber. The target holder is also constructed such that it may be refilled with dopant material when the dopant material within the hollow interior has been consumed. The ion source may have several gas inlets. When the insertable target holder is used, the ion source may supply a first gas, such as a halogen containing gas. When operating in a second mode, the ion source may utilize an organoaluminium gas.

    Abstract: A multi-surface nanoparticle source includes a first end having an inlet configured to receive a flow of gas, a second end comprising an outlet through which nanoparticles exit the nanoparticle source, and two or more targets spaced apart and arranged about an axis extending from the first end to the second end. At least at least one of the targets is hollow, and the inlet is arranged to direct a flow of the gas through the hollow target, between at least two of the targets, or both. The gas impacts the targets, releasing atoms from the target and through the second end. The targets may be arranged lengthwise and concentrically about the axis. In some cases, a multi-surface nanoparticle source includes one or more magnets. Nanoparticles formed with a multi-surface nanoparticle deposition system may be homogeneous or have a core-shell structure.

    Abstract: 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.
