​
Gencoa have a well-established track record of providing critical components and technology for coating flexible substrates, architectural glass, solar cells, displays, touch screens and semiconductor wafers. Careful attention is given to ensuring a long-life, trouble-free operation and excellent target use. The integrated gas delivery system acts as a powerful mechanism for tuning deposition uniformity by employing single or multi-zone control. All cathodes are fitted with a diaphragm type cooling for high power operation without breaking a water seal during target changeover. Direct cooling is achievable with removal of the diaphragm. Gencoa sources are configured with various power options such as DC, pulsed-DC, RF (up to 30kW) and HiPIMS. A unique design incorporating zero-height anodes prevent short circuits during processes and reduce dust and defects in the coatings. All sources incorporate flange plate cooling as standard. Depending on the application, Gencoa can configure individual cathodes to meet specific process requirements and limitations. An OEM proprietary magnetron design and manufacture service is also offered.
3G CIRCULAR
A third generation of HV sources for 2 "to 5" target diameters, with internal gas injection, indirect or direct target water cooling and ± 45 ° tilt adjustment as standard.
LARGE CIRCULAR
For target diameters of 6 "-16", Gencoa offer an established design of circular magnetron, suitable for coating larger areas.
CIRCULAR FFE
A unique and powerful tool for the high-rate deposition of sputtered layers with high target use achieved by the use of motor driven dynamic plasma scanning.
CIRCULAR VTECH
The unique Vtech magnetron allows for variations of magnetic field properties to be applied. Available for target diameters of 2 "to 6".
Target yield by using FFE circular magnetron
Target use is high (> 50% on a 6mm target) with a clean target even when reactive sputtering.
Target use of up to 70% can be achieved by using the 6 '' circular FFE magnetron.
Magnetic options
High Yield (HY) range achieve 40% target utilization and are recommended for applications where increased machine up-time or reduced material costs are required.
Metallizer (MZ) range is designed for high-rate metallizing of webs, car parts and decorative applications. Using specially-designed thick profiled targets and high water flows, the MZ range can increase the machine up-time by 100%.
Vtech (VT-ER) range is dedicated to ion assisted deposition processes, where the degree of plasma impact on the growing film can be automatically varied by in-situ changing of the magnetic field.
Ferromagnetic (HS) and (Loop) sputtering options for up to 6mm Nickel and 2mm Iron by (HS) magnetics or custom magnetic arrangement to suit ferromagnetic materials in Gencoa (Loop) magnetics.
High Uniformity (HU) magnetics for optimized magnetic field uniformity for demanding applications. This is beyond Gencoa standard magnetic field scanning and QC and can provide magnetic field uniformities of less than 1%.
