Product Overview
Scion Plasma’s SMC series sputtering magnetrons are suitable for R&D applications. They can be used for 2”, 3”, and 4” targets of 1/8” to 1/4” thickness. The magnetron designs are optimized using the company’s proprietary plasma simulation software ASTRA, enabling a unique low-voltage and high-current discharge mode, which results in increased deposition rates and reduced damage to delicate films and substrates. The SMC series sputtering magnetrons are suitable for sputtering all types of non-magnetic materials.
Product Features
- Wide range of discharge pressures from 0.5 to 50 mTorr owing to an efficient electron confinement. This feature provides the flexibility for process development.
- Proprietary spring-loaded target clamp ensuring tight target-cathode contact while accommodating target thermal expansion. This design reduces the risk of target cracking that customers often experience in conventional designs.
- Simple and easy target change from the front side. Cooling water is not exposed to vacuum chamber during target change.
- Magnets not exposed to vacuum and cooling water. This feature results in reliable and stable operation.
- Standard vacuum feedthroughs, N-type power connector, and ¼” push-to-connect water connectors.
- Flex head adjustable from 0 to 75 degrees.
