Intro to High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering (HiPIMS)
This course focuses on the theory and practice of High-Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering (HiPIMS). The theoretical side this course covers how HiPIMS differs from other sputtering techniques, the functionalities of a HiPIMS supply, and process parameters of interest. The practical content will be going over a basic HiPIMS process and discuss applications where HiPIMS has been shown to be a beneficial technique. The class is suitable for researchers with some background with the sputtering technique and who are wondering if HiPIMS might be suitable for their application.
Duration: 1 Hour(s)

REGISTERPhysical Vapor Deposition by Reactive Magnetron Sputtering
Reactive Sputtering (RS) adds an element of inorganic chemistry to the process of sputtering where metal oxides, nitrides, and other species can be produced, as films, from elemental or compound sputtering sources. This class reviews the rational for reactive sputtering and covers a review of the sputtering process, a discussion of the gas-phase chemistry that takes place during RS, how the process is monitored, compositional control, substrate bias, the effect of magnetic fields, and a general review of the issues critical to successful RS. The class will include an opportunity for Q&A with our technical expert.
