Linear Ion Source
This LIS system is closed-drift or anode-layer ion beam source type, which has capability of irradiating uniform ion beams over large surface area (from few centimeters to 120cm) and obtaining relatively high energy (50~1,500eV). It can also easily obtain ions from most of inert gases and ordinary gases. Applications for this LIS system include cleaning, deposition, and ion beam assisted deposition. DLC (Diamond-like Carbon) coating uses hydrocarbon family gases such as C6H6, C2H2, and CH4.

UBM Sputter (Unbalanced Magnetron Sputter)
Principle of Plasma Generation of UBM Sputter |
|
|
A magnetron consists of a target with magnets arranged behind it to make a magnetic trap for charged particles, such as argon ions, in front of the target. When negative voltage is supplied to the target, argon ions are attracted to the target surface. Then atoms of the target are knocked out with mean kinetic energythis is SPUTTERING. Secondary electrons are emitted from the target surface that become trapped by the magnetic fields and undergo further ionizing collisions sustaining the plasma. Confinement between a negatively biased target and closed magnetic field produces a dense plasma. |

Advantage of UBM Sputter
- Able to deposit on alloy metals, chemical compounds, and insulating layer.
- Possible reactive sputtering by using various reactive gases.
- Uniformity of deposited layer thickness.
- Able to use on a target with large surface area.
- No formation of macro particles.
- Low temperature process
FCVA (Filtered Cathodic Vacuum Arc)
|
Filtered Vacuum Arc is able to evaporate the material of cathode by using arc discharge and deposit this material on the substrate.
The biggest problem in arc deposition is the droplets (macro particles) formed, which can reach up to a few μm in size. These droplets adversely affect the property of thin films, especially the surface morphology.
By filtering macro and neutral particles, this system improves the overall properties, such as hardness, surface morphology, and etc.
