Magnetron sputtering processes have been widely appleed to thin film deposition nowadays in various industrial fields due to its outstanding advantages, and the technology itself is progressing further. The unbalanced magnetron sputtering process can improve the plasma distribution in deposition chamber to make film quality better. The medium-frequency and pulsed magnetron sputtering proceses can efficiently avoid the hysteresis during reactive sputtering to eliminate target poisoning and arcing, thus improving the stability and depositing rate in preparing thin compound films. Higher ulilization of target can be obtained by improved target design, and the high-speed sputtering and self-sputtering provide a new field of applications in magnetron sputtering coating process es.
