PVD TURN-KEY SYSTEMS 

Plasmionique's PVD systems are highly versatile semi-automated or fully automated customized systems integrating a variety of Physical  Vapour Deposition technologies. All systems are controlled by our PLASMICON proprietary control system.

The MAGNION Series of sputter deposition systems are turn-key units customized to fit the end users' requirements. They are highly versatile with fully integrated control and data acquisition systems.

 

Plasmionique’s proprietary MAGNION Series sputtering cathodes are designed for high target utilization efficiency, and are available in balanced and unbalanced magnetic configurations in circular or rectangular shapes. The magnetron cathodes are able to operate in DC, pulse-DC, AC or RF biasing modes.

 

Optionally, these systems can include a PLUME series remote plasma source for Enhanced Reactive Sputter Deposition. Substrate rotation, heating, biasing, and computer controlled axial motions are options available on all systems.

​

The MAGNION Series Systems are also offered as :

Hybrid Deposition Systems

Roll-to-Roll Deposition Systems

Tabletop and Compact Deposition Systems
