6 Basic Technology e- Ar+ e- e- e- Cathode (ca. 600V) e- e- Miba Invention: The Cylindrical Cathode Advantage: Uniform Layer also for thick layers and large bearings Sputtering Process: 1. Argon Ions Bombard the Cathode 2. Al and Sn Atoms are released by the kinetic energy of the Ions 3. Freed Atoms are moving through the cylindrical space and form the layer of the bearing

7 Concept and Machinery Sputtering Coating 1 Ni Sputtering Coating 2 Loading Ion Etching Cleaning View into Coating Chamber Star Concept: Diameter: Batch Concept: 190mm to 350 mm
