The HVMSS-SPC-1-LD is a magnetron sputtering gun with a flexible head capable of accommodating a wide range of 1" Dia. sputtering sources. Its compatibility with DC, pulsed DC and RF power supplies ensures maximum versatility and extends its usage to various sputtering targets (e.g. metallic, electrically insulating, magnetic or non-magnetic, and etc). Furthermore, its high vacuum design makes the use of Argon under low-pressure levels improves the quality of coating through reducing gas collisions inside the chamber. 

Circular rare-earth Nd-Fe-B magnets isolated from cooling water are implemented into the design for minimizing water-to-vacuum interfaces that are typically found in other sputtering sources. These magnets are field replaceable and make the sputtering gun easy to operate and maintain. The installation of this apparatus is straight forward and it also offers simple target changes that do not require any target bonding.

Sputtering Thickness Uniformity Curve


NOTE: The Normalized Film Thickness graph above was obtained from depositing a ~200-nm thick film with a PVD HV Magnetron sputtering gun using a 1-inch Cu target. Measurements were performed using a 4-point probe in two mutually perpendicular directions (X, Y) across the wafer surface. The film was deposited onto an oxidized non-rotating Si wafer under the following conditions:
  1. 150 Watts DC in 10 mTorr (Ar)
  2. Distance of 3-inches (75-mm) from target to substrate
Water Cooling (Required)

  • Flow Rate requirement:               1/2 GPM, filtered
  • Water Inlet Temperature:             <20 C
  • Water hook-up:                            4mm O.D. tubes
Electrical & Mounting Fittings

  • Electrical Connector:                   Standard HN type (DC and RF)
  • High Vacuum Quick Disconnect is included.  High vacuum Quick Disconnect with 0.75" ID (compatible with HVMSS-SPC-1-LD). Use this component to install the HVMSS-SPC-1-LD sputtering tool onto the baseplate (up to 1” thick) of a vacuum chamber with  1” diameter through-hole 
                
Vacuum Flange with Feedthrough
 
(Optional)
6" CF flange with a high vacuum feedthrough is available upon request at extra cost. The sputtering head can be easily installed on the 6'' CF vacuum flange through the quick vacuum clamp. The height position of the sputtering gun can be manually adjusted inside the vacuum chamber.  
   
Overall Length 14 inches
Net Weight 3 lbs
Tilt Assembly
  • The sputtering head can be tilted +/- 45 degrees for adjusting the incidence angle of bombardments to improve the sputtering yield.
  • Scribe lines on the tilt assembly offer precise angle adjustments.
                 



Optional Accessories
  • Digital Temperature  Controlled circulating Water Chiller with 6 Liters Tank, 16L / min Flow is available at extra cost, please order separately.
  • MTI offers various sputtering accessories designed to be used with the HVMSS-SPC-1 magnetron sputtering gun for customers interested in creating custom DIY Magnetron Sputtering Coaters:
