Magnetic guidance of plasma electrons

Gencoa's Active Anode technology is an accessory for sputtering from rotatable magnetrons.

Active anodes provide a range of benefits such as:

  • Lower substrate temperatures
  • High rates for temperature-sensitive substrates
  • Reduced target voltage fluctuations with substrate movement
  • Less process drift
  • Control of energy at the growing film and lower film stress
  • Harder carbon VDLC layers
