This location provides cooperative design, test, and thin film application for product advancements, with well known universities and national laboratories. ince the early 1980 s exclusive licenses from two prominent ilicon Valley laboratories have been granted to U Inc., permitting the manufacture and distribution of patented Planar Magnetron putter ources. With over 6,000 sources delivered throughout the world, U Inc. has become known world wide as a leading supplier of sputter deposition sources. THE PRODUCT The MAK source, U Inc. s successor to the highly regarded U GUN, is produced at the company s an Jose, California U..A. facility. Introduction of the MAK was in late 1995 and it s rapid sales growth caused the discontinuation of the U GUN at the beginning of 1999. Designed to present the smallest profile possible, with higher rates than any comparable sputter sources available, MAK users have developed much of today s thin film techniques.

PLANAR MAGNETRON PUTTERING PUTTERING puttering is a method of depositing both thin metal films and insulators onto a substrate. Unlike evaporation, the material to be sputtered does not have to be heated. The deposition of alloys and insulators as composite materials are two important benefits of sputtering. puttering has additional benefits as a deposition technique when compared with evaporation. Ions Electrons Target Atoms Argon Atoms "B" Field "E" Field Target(Cathode) Negative High Voltage PRINCIPLE OF PUTTERING puttering is a physical process that can be compared to throwing steel balls at a concrete wall. Upon impact, the ball tears away fragments of the concrete, resulting in fragments which retain the chemical and physical properties of concrete. If the process is continued, surfaces in the vicinity of the impact are covered with a layer of concrete dust. In sputtering, the steel balls are ionized atoms. The wall is a plate of the material to be sputtered, called a target.the sputtering process takes place in an evacuated chamber. Argon is introduced, then Growing Film Legend Material Removed By Ion Bombardment Magnetic Field Lines Captured Electrons ionized in the chamber which contains the substrate and the target of the film material to be sputtered. The target is maintained at a negative potential relative to the positively charged argon atom. The positive ion accelerates towards the negative charge, striking the target with sufficient force to remove material. The argon atom does not become imbedded in the target. It slams into it like a steel ball into the wall and tears off some of the target material. ince the chamber is maintained at a vacuum, the liberated material settles on everything in the chamber, mainly the substrates. MAGNETRON PUTTERING In diode sputtering, not all of the electrons escaping the target contribute to the ionized plasma glow area. The wasted electrons fly around the chamber causing radiation and other problems, for example, the heating of the target. A magnetron sputtering source addresses the electron problem by placing magnets behind, and sometimes, at the sides of the target. These magnets capture the escaping electrons and confine them to the immediate vicinity of the target. The ion current (density of ionized argon atoms hitting the target) is increased by an order of magnitude over conventional diode sputtering systems, resulting in faster deposition rates at lower pressure. The lower pressure in the chamber helps create a cleaner film. Target temperature is lower with magnetron sputtering enhancing the deposition of high quality films.
