Abstract

1462241 Sputtering apparatus COULTER INFORMATION SYSTEMS Inc 7 Jan 1974 [12 Jan 1973] 00643/74 Heading C7F Sputtering apparatus comprises a plurality of cooled arcuate targets 64 forming a cylinder around a rotating drum 46, the substrate 54 (e.g. of plastics) in strip form being guided round the drum by rollers 58, 60, and coated by passing through zones 57. To prevent heating of the substrate by impingement of secondary electrons, a magnetic field is created by magnets 74, 78. The targets may be arcuate plates as shown, or may take the form of series of spaced rods on a cooled arcuate holder, Fig. 7 (not shown), series of spaced tubes having coolant passed therethrough, Fig. 8 (not shown), or by series of adjacent rectangular bars on a cooled arcuate holder, Fig. 9 (not shown). The targets may be all of the same material or may comprise different materials depending upon the desired coating. A series of sensors 70 monitor the conditions within the sputtering chamber. In modifications, the last target may be arranged tangentially to the drum, Fig. 4 (not shown), and a narrow substrate may make more than one revolution around the drum, Fig. 14 (not shown).
