Production Sputtering Sources
(Click image to view in a new window) |
Our TORUS® line of performance production magnetron sputter sources is a major breakthrough in the field of high-volume sputtering with target utilization up to 50%.
These sputter sources feature a unique combination of exceptional target life, high sputter rates, and increased power densities unmatched in the industry. The patented magnet designs trap electrons in inner, center, and outer erosion zones with precise magnetic field shapes to enable even erosion at maximum sputter target usage.
With circular production sources available from 6" to 12" diameter and linear sources available in lengths up to 140", KJLC® is positioned to offer the sputter solution for your production environment.
Features
- Target utilization up to 50%
- Operating voltage drops as low as 15% for deposition process stability
- Patented magnet designs for magnetic or nonmagnetic materials
- Standard linear cathode sizes from 2" to 11" wide and up to 140" long
- Standard circular cathode sizes up to 12" diameter
- Versatile RF, DC, or Pulsed-DC operation
