[vc_row][vc_column width="3/4"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] Thickness Uniformity of Thin Films by Magnetron Sputtering Magnetron Sputtering is a highly advantageous method for depositing thin films of materials on a substrate for research and industrial purposes. Thickness Uniformity of thin film distribution is an important parameter in science and industry, which can be obtained by magnetron sputtering to a high degree of precision (<2% of thickness variation over the substrate) [1]. In addition, Vac Coat Sputter Coaters can sputter materials by Magnetron Sputtering Method.

[vc_row][vc_column width="3/4"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] Electrically Conductive Cu Thin Films by DC Magnetron Sputtering Many studies focus on the growth of copper microstructure as a function of the coating method. The increase of resistivity of copper thin films is due to various phenomena such as scattering from defects (vacancies, dislocations, grain boundaries) and also scattering from the free surface, bottom interface, and side-wall interfaces of the films. In this way, the mean free path of electrons decreases, which leads to an increase in resistance.

Pressure Gauges

Pressure Gauges

[vc_row][vc_column width="3/4"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] Pressure Gauges Pressure, force per unit area (N/m2), is identified as the applied force by a fluid (gas or liquid) to a surface. Pressure measurement has many applications in everyday life. For decades, tools used to measure and display pressure are known as Pressure Gauges or Vacuum Gauges. A vacuum gauge can measure the pressure ranges lower than the ambient pressure. Generally, the pressure is not an absolute quantity, and most pressure gauges determine the pressure compared to the atmospheric pressure as the reference.

Report
[vc_row][vc_column width="3/4"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=""] What Is Vacuum Plasma Treatment? Plasma as the fourth state of matter introduced in 1927 by Langmuir, is observable in various places, from Vacuum plasma in a glow discharge tube in a lab to lightning and flames in the atmospheric presuure. Vacuum plasma treatment is a common method for creating surfaces with desired properties through coating, cleaning, etching, surface activation and functionalization. Plasma can be generated by applying an electric current across a dielectric gas (arcing) or increasing the gas temperature by heating (like a flame) to take out the electrons from atoms and ionizing the gas, making it conductive. These charged particles can affect the electrical characteristics of the gas or be manipulated by external electric/magnetic fields.

Glow discharge happens when free plasma electrons recombines with positive ions and emit photons. This phenomenon lies between the dark discharge region with low current ionization and no light emission, and arc discharge with large radiations (Figure 1). Glow discharge plasma contains energetic ionized gases species, which can be used for different purposes, cleaning a surface or coating it, as sputtering deposition method.
