Magnetron sputter deposition kinetics: DysonRecent Research Landscape

Non-uniform film thickness and target erosion patterns lead to high material waste and substrate defects. Precise control of the plasma-target interface and ion trajectory ensures uniform deposition and extends hardware life.

What technical problems is Dyson addressing in Magnetron sputter deposition kinetics?

Inconsistent thin film uniformity

(21)evidences

Spatial variations in material thickness and composition across a substrate lead to device failure. Achieving precise uniformity across large areas ensures consistent electrical and mechanical properties.

Plasma density non-uniformity

(2)evidences

Inconsistent plasma generation leads to non-uniform thin film deposition and process drift. Stabilizing the discharge ensures repeatable material properties and prevents substrate damage.
