IONIX® 3'' UHV Circular Sputtering Source
The IX3U magnetron sputtering source has a target diameter of 75 mm (3'') and can be used with non-ferromagnetic targets varying from 4 - 8 mm thickness.
The magnetron features indirect cooling of the target, discrete target clamping and a sliding anode allowing easy adjustment of the dark space gap when varying target thickness. The IX3U has a fully UHV compatible design utilizing only metallic seals and construction materials with low-outgassing rate. The IX3U is bakeable up to 200°C with its SmCo magnet array inserted and can be in DC, AC, RF and pulsed operation.
Optionally a version for ferromagnetic target materials ( for 2 -3 mm Ni, 1 mm Fe) is available. The IX3U can be either internally mounted via DN16CF interface or directly flange mounted on a DN100CF flange.
