Things you should know about sputter coating

Almost all new sputter deposition equipment uses a powerful magnet to spiral the electrons to accelerate the ionization of the argon around the target, resulting in an increased probability of collision between the sputtering target and the argon ions, and thus the sputtering rate is increased. Generally, most metal films uses DC sputtering, while non-conductive...
