    摘要: An arrangement is provided for feeding in HF current for rotatable tubular cathodes in a vacuum chamber of a plasma coating system as well as a high frequency current source. Located inside the tubular cathode is a magnet arrangement that extends along said tubular cathode for generating a magnetic field. The arrangement enables a low loss infeed of HF current, so that a particularly homogeneous sputter removal from the tubular cathode is guaranteed. The HF current source is coupled to the tubular cathode inside the vacuum chamber by a capacitive infeed of HF current in the form of a coupling capacitor. The coupling capacitor includes a part of the surface of the tubular cathode and a metal plate or metal film that surrounds the tubular cathode, at least partially, at a specified distance.

    摘要: A plasma sputtering apparatus according to one embodiment includes a chamber and a reservoir in fluidic communication with the chamber. The reservoir stores a vapor source therein, and is configured to release vapor at a predetermined rate. The vapor released by the reservoir is effective to diminish an etch rate of a first magnetic material, the vapor having a smaller effect on an etch rate of a second magnetic material that is different than the first magnetic material. The apparatus also includes a mount for a substrate and a plasma source.

    摘要: A method for forming an alignment film for a liquid crystal on a substrate and an associated at least one structure. The substrate is moved in a first direction. A target is disposed on the first surface side of the substrate. The ion beam is propagated from an ion source toward the substrate and impinges on a sputtering surface of the target, which sputters a material of the target and results in sputtered particles of the material being emitted from the sputtering surface of the target and deposited on the first surface side of the substrate to form (i) a sputtering film on the first surface side of the substrate and (ii) an alignment film having an orientation and being disposed on the sputtering film and on the entire surface of the substrate. The alignment film aligns molecules of the liquid crystal in a predetermined direction.
