  Magnetron Design with High Target Utilization  
The Magnetic Field Configuration also influences the target utilization efficiency.

Thedesign for our Unbalanced Magnetron Cathodes yields high target utilization. For example, for a small 2"cathode (unbalanced Type 2) target utilization rate in excess of 50% is achieved. Larger diameter targets offer much higher utilization efficiency.
