Abstract

See full text

A magnetron sputter coating assembly. The assembly includes a concave consumable target spaced closely to a substrate coating position. Coating uniformity is maintained by controlling ion formation between the substrate and the target. This is accomplished with a plurality of ferromagnetic pole pieces and two individually energizable current carrying coils. The consumable target may be constructed in two segments. A first inner segment defines a generally planar target base parallel to the substrate surface to be coated. A second, outer target segment has a coating surface that forms an angle with respect to the substrate surface.
