    Abstract: There is described an intaglio printing plate coating apparatus comprising a vacuum chamber having an inner space adapted to receive at least one intaglio printing plate to be coated, a vacuum system coupled to the vacuum chamber adapted to create vacuum in the inner space of the vacuum chamber, and a physical vapour deposition (PVD) system adapted to perform deposition of wear-resistant coating material under vacuum onto an engraved surface of the intaglio printing plate, which physical vapour deposition system includes at least one coating material target comprising a source of the wear-resistant coating material to be deposited onto the engraved surface of the intaglio printing plate. The vacuum chamber is arranged so that the intaglio printing plate to be coated sits substantially vertically in the inner space of the vacuum chamber with its engraved surface facing the at least one coating material target. The intaglio printing plate coating apparatus further comprises a movable carrier located within the inner space of the vacuum chamber and adapted to support and cyclically move the intaglio printing plate in front of and past the at least one coating material target.

    Abstract: In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a plasma processing system comprising a magnetron configured to provide a symmetric magnetic track through a combination of vibrational and rotational motion. The disclosed magnetron comprises a magnetic element configured to generate a magnetic field. The magnetic element is attached to an elastic element connected between the magnetic element and a rotational shaft configured to rotate magnetic element about a center of the sputtering target. The elastic element is configured to vary its length during rotation of the magnetic element to change the radial distance between the rotational shaft and the magnetic element. The resulting magnetic track enables concurrent motion of the magnetic element in both an angular direction and a radial direction. Such motion enables a symmetric magnetic track that provides good wafer uniformity and a short deposition time.

    Abstract: A capacitive plasma source for iPVD is immersed in a strong local magnetic field, and maybe a drop-in replacement for an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) source for iPVD. The source includes an annular electrode having a magnet pack behind it that includes a surface magnet generally parallel to the electrode surface with a magnetic field extending radially over the electrode surface. Side magnets, such as inner and outer annular ring magnets, have polar axes that intersect the electrode with poles closest to the electrode of the same polarity as the adjacent pole of the surface magnet. A ferromagnetic back plate or back magnet interconnects the back poles of the side magnets. A ferromagnetic shield behind the magnet pack confines the field away from the iPVD material source.
