Description
Depending on the required conditions of the sputtering process, we offer 2 types of sources: type B & C.
All types are fully compatible with our M600DC-PS power supply as well as all other DC, RF and pulsed DC power supplies available on the market.
The magnetron source type B is used to apply thin layers with high homogeneity in the sputtering process. The source is compatible with UHV conditions. The magnetron source is designed for sputtering magnetic and ferromagnetic materials. It can operate on targets up to 7 mm thick.

The magnetron sputtering source type C is both RF‑ and DC‑compatible and can deposit many classes of materials: conductors, semiconductors, and insulators. The magnetron source enables the creation of uniform, homogeneous and small-grained thin films; with such advantages as high density (low void area), high specularity (reflectance), and free of radiation damage and broken bonds.
