4 Overview Why ARC Control for HiPIMS? Technology Explanation How Does It Work? Next-Generation HiPIMS Power Supplies Conclusion: Advanced Arc Handling Advanced ARC-Handling for HiPIMS-PS

5 Why Arc Control for HiPIMS?

6 Plasma Discharge Regimes Magnetron sputtering is in the region of the abnormal glow discharge Source: J.R. Roth Industrial Plasma Engineering, Volume 1

7 Ultra Fast Arc Handling Requirements: The power supply should: 1. recognize and handle arcs very fast 2. dissipate stored energy in the power-delivery system to eliminate damage to the work piece. Why? In HiPIMS applications, highly energetic pulses are present. As the arc current in HiPIMS applications is in the range of thousands of amps, the energy driving the arc is huge and most likely destructive to the substrate. Advanced ARC-Handling for HiPIMS-PS

8 Arc Energy Formula The energy driving the arc is given by the formula: W = ½ LI 2 Stored Energy in the Cable Example: current of 3500 A cable length of 10 m (1uH/m) W = ½ 10 µh x 3500 A 2 = 61.3 J Advanced ARC-Handling for HiPIMS-PS

9 R. Behrisch: Surface Erosion by Electrical Arcs (1986) Prevent Droplet & Thermionic Discharge Such high energy has two impacts on the process: Advanced ARC-Handling for HiPIMS-PS Projection of droplets on the substrate Hot spot created by this high-energy impact on the target can still be hot enough to emit thermionic electrons that eventually collapse to an arc at the next pulse of the HiPIMS By reducing the arc energy, both effects of droplet and thermionic discharge can be prevented.

10 Technology Explanation How Does it Work? Advanced ARC-Handling for HiPIMS-PS

19 Arc-Control, Fast Arc Current Decay An arc at 3500 A (threshold-value) Competitive technologies, other than the Solvix solution require > 300 µs 3500 A threshold value (user adjustable) Fast arc current decay in <4 µs, thanks to Solvix "ICE technology

23 Next-Generation HiPIMS Solutions

24 HiPIMS Advantages & Disadvantages compared with DC-MS Advantages Disadvantages with courtesy of Fraunhofer IST Braunschweig Better film-properties, denser films High ionization-rate HiPIMS-PS can, in general, be integrated into existing DC-MS systems No (or very low) hysteresis..and many, many more!! Low deposition rate High cost Non-sophisticated arc management Arcing can destroy the substrate and the target Advanced ARC-Handling for HiPIMS-PS

25 Next-Generation Power Supply Requirements for HiPIMS Applications Ready-to-go HiPIMS platform Single box Plug and play, fully functional Easy to install, easy to integrate into existing coating systems Easy to operate All-in-one units Sophisticated arc management Advanced ARC-Handling for HiPIMS-PS
