Global Sputter Coater Market Definition

Sputter coating can be defined as a physical vapor deposition process carried out to apply a very thin functional coating layer. Sputter coater is used for coating an electrically conductive object, the overall assembly of sputter equipment consists vacuum chamber incorporated with an anode and cathode, and a substrate is kept of anode provided with electric power. Sputter coating is a cost-effective way of applying a coating layer on the electrically conductive material.

Free electrons flow from the negatively charged target source material in the plasma environment towards the positively charged substrate, thereby forming a film coating. The assembly varies with the type of sputtering processes such as reactive sputtering, co-sputtering, or magnetron processing. In the case of magnetron sputtering, the magnetic field is used to control the velocity and behavior. These magnetrons are most commonly used for a large-scale system where the substrate scan linearly past the targets on the conveyor belt.
