Argon gas is introduced into a high-vacuum environment. After a high-voltage electric field is applied, electrons are accelerated and collide with argon atoms, generating Ar+ ions and additional electrons to form plasma.

Driven by the electric field, Ar+ ions bombard the target surface at high speed, dislodging target atoms and enabling sputtering.

For variable-valence compounds, custom target preparation by users is recommended.

FAQs
  • 01
    Is there any difference between this tool and the magnetron sputtering system in the West Zone?
    This system is equipped with 2 DC power supplies and 2 RF power supplies. When using RF sputtering for optical thin films, auxiliary bias can be applied. For instance, it enables a higher refractive index of deposited TiO₂ thin films.
  • 02
    Can sputtered metal films be used for lift-off processes?
    It is theoretically feasible when the aspect ratio is no higher than 1:1.
  • 03
    Peeling issue of sputtered metal films
    The peeling of metal thin films is mainly caused by organic contamination or excessive stress induced by irregular structures.
