About Angstrom Sciences

Angstrom Sciences, Inc. founded in 1988 to supply advanced magnetrons and refined materials for plasma vapor deposition of high quality thin films. With a strong focus on research and development, the company soon patented several technical advancements in magnetics, water-cooling, and circular magnetron target clamping designs. The features of the Angstrom Advantage™ have created the most advanced and easy-to-use magnetrons in the thin film industry.

2-Linear-Magnetrons

Linear Magnetron

Patented Advantages

Angstrom Sciences’ linear magnetrons incorporate our fully encapsulated patented, profiled NdFeB rare earth magnets that spread the field across the entire target surface increasing target utilization and minimizing particulate contamination form the target surface. Turbulent water flow is also featured in all our magnetron sputtering cathodes to provide optimal thermal transfer and minimizing non-uniformity due to hot spots on the target surface. These along with features like integral process gas inlets, solid anode walls, and the use of cutting-edge materials ensures unparalleled performance and reliability for your sputtering process.

5-Plasus-Process-Control

Plasus Plasma Analysis and Process Control

Process flow controllers are high-speed closed-loop process gas controllers, designed for real-time, in-situ precision control of reactive sputtering-based vacuum coating and plasma treatment processes. They are complete, compact, flexible, convenient to use, and economical solutions which can be readily integrated into new as well as existing systems. Equally at home in production or R&D tools, process flow controllers can bring about demonstrable improvements in process stability, repeatability, and yield. A wide range of accessories are available including sensors specifically designed for HIPMS Sputtering Applications.

Process control is essential in industrial plasma applications to ensure reliability and high quality of the process. Here, optical emission spectroscopy (OES) is a first choice technique since it does not affect the plasma and since real-time monitoring of several plasma species is possible. Our PLASUS EMICON systems come with all the features you need to analyze, optimize and control your plasma application.

3-Cylindrical-Magnetrons

Cylindrical Magnetron

Angstrom Sciences offers state-of-the-art magnetrons for virtually any standard sputtering process. But we know that every application is different. That’s why we’ve developed a unique, modular approach that specifically adapts to your specifications.

Cylindrical Magnetrons have long been trusted in the glass coating industry to create uniform thin films while maximizing target utilization. Now, Angstrom Sciences has created a compact, lightweight, and economical cylindrical magnetron specifically designed to offer these same advantages to Flat Panel Display, Solar Cell, and Web Coating applications.
