    摘要: The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for pretreating and coating bodies by means of magnetron sputtering. In a vacuum chamber having a metallic chamber wall (26), magnetrons with sputter targets are arranged, at least one of which is an HPPMS magnetron to which electric pulses are fed by connecting a capacitive element (6) with the sputter target of the HPPMS magnetron via a switching element (5). To achieve effective pretreatment and coating of substrates it is provided according to a first aspect to arrange the switching element on the chamber wall. According to a second aspect, an electrode pair is provided, wherein a first electrode is an HPPMS magnetron (1) and the first and second electrodes are arranged in such a manner that a body (11) supported on a substrate table (4) is arranged between the active surfaces of the electrode pair or is moved through the space between the active surfaces of the electrode pair. In a third aspect, a method is provided, wherein, in an etch step, a negative bias voltage is applied to the body and the body is etched by means of metal ion bombardment, and subsequently the bias voltage is continuously lowered so that material sputtered-off from the sputter targets results in a layer build-up on the body.

    摘要: A multilayer solar selective coating on metallic and non-metallic substrates suitable for high temperature solar thermal power applications. The optimized solar selective coating of the present invention on stainless steel substrate exhibits absorptance of 0.954 and emittance of 0.07. A five layer coating is deposited using the sputtering process, and includes tungsten (W), titanium aluminum nitride (TiAlN), titanium aluminum silicon nitride (TiAlSiN), titanium aluminum silicon oxy-nitride (TiAlSiON), and titanium aluminum silicon oxide (TiAlSiO) layers. The first layer (W) acts an infrared reflector, the second layer (TiAlN), the third layer (TiAlSiN) and the fourth layer (TiAlSiON) act as the absorber layer and the fifth layer (TiAlSiO) acts as the anti-reflection layer. The high-temperature solar selective coating exhibits average emittance of 0.10 at 400° C. on stainless steel substrate in the wavelength range of 2.5-25 μm, thus is suitable for applications in concentrating collectors like evacuated receiver tubes for solar thermal power generation.

    摘要: Modulation of a waveform applied to a cathode of a sputtering deposition chamber regulates the sputtering rate and density and kinetic energy of ions in a sputtering deposition chamber. A waveform may include a pulsed DC waveform with a modulated AC signal superimposed on the pulsed DC waveform. The DC waveform may have a reverse voltage period. A reverse voltage limiting circuit is provided so as to limit the reverse voltage spike to a selected reverse voltage threshold. One may modulate various properties of the waveform to increase or decrease sputtering rates and thin-film quality.
