IONIX® 2'' UHV Circular Sputtering Source

The IX2U ultrahigh vacuum magnetron sputtering source has a target diameter of 50.8 mm (2'') and can be used with non-ferromagnetic targets varying from 1 - 6 mm target thickness.

The IX2U features indirect cooling of the target and a threaded target clamping ring and a sliding anode allowing easy adjustment of the dark space gap when varying target thickness. The magnetron has a fully UHV compatible design utilizing only metallic seals and construction materials with low-outgassing rate. The IX2U is bakeable up to 200°C with its SmCo magnet array inserted and can be in DC, AC, RF and pulsed operation.

The standard version is able to sputter ferromagnetic targets (Fe 1 mm, Ni 2-3 mm, Co 3 mm thick), a version for thicker ferromagnetic target materials ( Ni 5 mm, Co 5 mm, Fe 2 -3 mm thick) is available. The IX2U can be either internally mounted via DN16CF interface or directly flange mounted on a DN63CF flange.
