  • Advanced static DC magnetron sputtering methods based on the magnet wobbling technique were investigated to achieve highly uniform and homogeneous metallization layers. The novel split sputter mode (SSM) method, wherein the deposition process is divided into two distinct steps, enables the AKT rotary cathode technology to provide excellent layer properties, while keeping a high production throughput. The effectiveness of theSSMtechnique was demonstrated through copper-coated large-area substrates.
