  • Patent number: 6545580
    Abstract: An electromagnetic field generator and method of operation for ion beam deposition of magnetic thin-film materials is presented. A combination of open frame electromagnetic field generator elements provides precise control of magnetic field directionality. This control enables deposition of oriented magnetic films with minimal directionality error. The magnetic field direction may be oriented to enable the deposition of alternating layers of directionally oriented magnetic films. An open frame element reduces the weight of the electromagnetic field generator while truncated corners reduce diagonal clearance that may be required in a vacuum chamber. An open frame design also enables the electromagnetic field generator to surround and thus remain clear of the active deposition area; the electromagnetic field generator can thus be shielded from accumulation of sputtered material. Shielding from accumulation of sputter material reduces maintenance requirements.

A defocusing mechanism defocuses the first color component signal based on the filtered first color component signal. A gain adjustment device adjusts a gain of at least one other of a plurality of color component signals of the composite signal. An amount of defocusing performed by the defocusing mechanism and a gain adjustment by the gain adjustment device are dependent on a content of the composite signal. In another aspect of the invention, a spot wobble scheme may be employed alone in a static defocussing system, without dependence upon the video signal content.
