  • Thin film deposition
    Patent number: 4424103
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for thin film deposition comprising bombarding a target obliquely in a vacuum chamber with a linear ion gun. The linear ion gun generates an ion beam which impacts the target over an area having a width substantially greater than a height. Target material in the impacted area is sputtered. The sputtered target material is deposited onto a surface by translating the surface at a controlled rate through the sputtered material.
