  • Single, Right-Angled End-Block
    Publication number: 20080202925
    Abstract: A single, right-angled end-block is claimed for rotatably carrying a target in a sputtering apparatus. The end-block comprises all necessary means to drive, energise, bear and seal (coolant and gas) the target in the sputtering apparatus from the outside through a single opening in a wall or door. The right-angled end-block rotates the target around an axis of rotation that is parallel to the wall on which the target is mounted. By preference the end-block is situated below the target in order to allow easy drainage of the coolant.
