SunSource GEN II 90 mm Wide Linear Magnetron Sputtering Sources

SunSource GEN II™ sputtering sources are designed for high target utilization and controlled plasma behavior in narrow-width coating applications. The balanced magnetic design confines plasma discharge above the target surface, reducing stray fields that cause arcing, substrate heating, and unwanted source sputtering. The platform maintains stable operation across a broad pressure range and supports efficient sputtering at both low and standard power levels, particularly in compact vacuum web coating systems.
