About Thin Film Sources
Thin film sources consist of magnetrons, evaporation thermal units, ion beams, and other sources that produce deposition materials (vapors or ions) in a thin film system. A deposition material is produced by the settling of particles or sediment from a solution or suspension mixture, or the production of a solid on a pre-existing surface. Magnetrons are a self-excited oscillator used as a radar transmitter tube. Magnetron sputtering is the most widely used process for vacuum thin film deposition. A magnetron tube is most commonly used in microwave ovens. A thin film evaporator is a unit operation used primarily to concentrate a solute. Ion beam milling is used to fabricate electronic and mechanical elements for industrial and military applications. A photon source is utilized by thin film sources to illuminate chemical reactions.
