This video shows SemicoreEquipment's sputtering manufacturing process. This process starts when a substrate to be coated is placed in a vacuum chamber containing an inert gas. The negative charge is ...

Sputtering Technique Sputtering is a process wherein a controlled gas, typically chemically inert argon, is introduced into a vacuum chamber and then a cathode is electrically energized to generate a ...

SEMs are capable of imaging many different sample types including semiconductors, metals and alloys, polymers, ceramics and biological samples. Some samples can be more difficult to image and must be ...

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 ...

UK-based sputtering technology firm Plasma Quest has a prototype system that could dramatically increase sputtering deposition rates and cut down-time. Sputtering is used to deposit a wide variety of ...

Midsummer has developed a high speed process for manufacturing of CIGS solar cells utilising sputtering of all layers in the solar cell structure. Midsummer recently achieved a 15 per cent active area ...

The MEGA coating system (multi-source magnetron sputtering system) enables the production of new types of metallic or ceramic coatings in monolithic, graded or multi-layer arrangements using 7 ...

A small team of planetary scientists, astrophysicists and space flight researchers affiliated with several institutions in the U.S. and one in France has made the first direct detection of atmospheric ...

Modifying surfaces by shooting particles at them - this technique, called 'sputtering', is indispensable in surface science. However, if the surface is not perfectly smooth and regular, it is hard to ...
