Cylindrical Magnetrons have long been trusted in the glass coating industry to create uniform thin films while maximizing target utilization. Angstrom Sciences developed a compact, lightweight, and economical cylindrical magnetron specifically designed to offer these same advantages to Flat Panel Display, Solar Cell, and Web Coating applications.

6 Cathode Magnetron Sputtering Confocal Array mounted on an ISO 500 flange.
The cathodes have flexible joints, cross-contamination shields, and rotary shutters. This set-up is ideal for development work involving multiple layers of various materials.

Green plasma!
Copper (Cu) is a widely used material in thin film deposition for both its thermal and electrical properties. When sputtered using pure Argon (Ar) it gives off a brilliant green color.
Bonded Zinc Oxide (ZnO) Sputtering Targets
ZnO thin films have excellent properties that are used for:
➡️transparent conducting electrodes (TCOs)
➡️architectural glass
➡️piezoelectric devices
➡️MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems)
➡️sensors
➡️many other applications
