Ion Beam Sputtering (IBSD) is a thin film deposition technology. An ion source is utilized to sputter and deposit target materials (metals or dielectrics) onto the substrate, so as to form metallic or dielectric films. Since the ion beam is monoenergetic (ions possess equal energy) and highly collimated, it enables precise thickness control and the deposition of highly dense, high-quality thin films when compared with other Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) technologies.

 

Periodic alternating multilayer films of silicon dioxide and tantalum pentoxide achieve antireflection for light at specific wavelengths.

1.Samples shall be free of photoresist;

2.Sample thickness shall not exceed 2 mm.

FAQs
  • 01
    Why must samples be free of photoresist during ion beam sputtering coating?
    Sputtered atoms carry high kinetic energy, which will induce photoresist denaturation and make subsequent stripping difficult.
  • 02
    What are the advantages of this equipment over magnetron sputtering systems?
    Ion beam sputtering operates at a lower working pressure with higher ion beam energy, producing denser high-performance optical thin films.
