Thin film coatings deposition is normally carried out by magnetron sputtering, thanks to a number of benefits from its use, as well as the number rand magnitude of applications involved with thin film technologies. Present day technologies request, therefore, the use of rotating cylindrical magnetrons, which, in turn, require robust and reliable sputter hardware for long production cycles. This article takes a look at the latest developments of Bekaert in end blocks in response to the needs and requirements of high power AC sputtering.
