Dual Magnetron Sputtering: Delivering High Power*
June 17, 2015
Current source supplies are ideal for pulsed dual magnetron sputtering (DMS). They have the advantage of little to no current rise when an arc occurs, and they enable arc detection by voltage fall due to high incremental impedance.

Success is in the Details: Not-So-Obvious Subtleties of Voltage Control
April 08, 2014
The possibility of controlling reactive sputtering processes in the transition region has been intriguing and compelling for as long as I have been in the thin-films industry (actually, since before I joined the industry in 1995).
