Abstract

Morrison presented an improved ion source for magnetron sputtering in 1982. He claimed that having a magnetically hidden anode placed in a magnetron sputtering system, as shown in Fig 1, could double the plasma density and provided a more uniform plasma through the chamber. This system made it possible to get effective predeposition cleaning and sufficient ion bombardment towards the biased substrates during the coating process.
