Thin films play a crucial role in the fabrication of several components and devices, such as protective coatings, integrated circuits, solar cells, and optical ...

BERKELEY, CA – In the electronics industry, thin metal films are deposited on silicon wafers with a sputter gun, which uses energetic ions – atoms with a positive charge – to knock the metal atoms off ...

Abstract: The mathematical model is proposed, that allows to calculate formation of thin-film coatings at magnetron sputtering of materials, it consolidates the mathematical description of magnetic ...

Many applications use a manufacturing process known as thin-film sputtering deposition. The typical sputtering process uses an ion beam to impact the surface of a sputter material such as gold, silver ...

(Nanowerk News) In the electronics industry, thin metal films are deposited on silicon wafers with a sputter gun, which uses energetic ions – atoms with a positive charge – to knock the metal atoms ...

Materion. has filed a patent for a sputtering target made of Co, Zr, Ta, and optional elements from Mo, Pd, Ni, Ti, V, W, and B. The target has a maximum pass through flux variation of 0.2 or lower, ...
