In magnetron sputtering, magnetic fields focus plasmas onto target material surfaces, ejecting material that moves through the plasma to coat substrates. Suitable for depositing most materials (with correct choice of sputtering power supply).
Magnetron sputtering is a core speciality of Moorfield, with most of our systems offering this technique.
Magnetron sputtering products
Edwards e306
Moorfield have been working with the Edwards E306 system for more than 2 decades.
MiniLab 026
MiniLab 026 systems are compact floor standing vacuum evaporators with easy-access ‘clam-shell’ chambers. Suitable for metal, dielectric and organics deposition via evaporation and sputtering techniques.
MiniLab 060
The most popular platform in our MiniLab range, MiniLab 060 systems have front-loading box-type chambers ideal for multiple-source magnetron sputtering but also thermal and e-beam evaporation.
MiniLab 080
MiniLab 080 systems offer tall chambers ideally suited for thermal, LTE and e-beam evaporation techniques requiring longer working distances for optimum uniformity.
MiniLab 125
MiniLab 125 tools take the modular concept to the pilot-scale level. Large chambers allow for increased-size component sets for coating large areas, and a range of load-lock options enable high-throughput operation. At the same time, systems are fully cust
nanoEM
The nanoEM system is the first electron microscopy coating tool with a full, research-grade feature set.
nanoPVD-ST15A
Model ST15A offers the combination of evaporation and sputtering techniques within a single process chamber. Ultimate research flexibility within a benchtop, automated package.
