Hydrogen FCEV Industry Development In nowadays, in view of global technology industry, it's quite important for all manufacturers to develop and find the best coating solutions to improve products quality and saving production cost, plus, have to take care of our environment. Especially in vehicles industry, as an essential transporation tool, it is an indispensable part of our daily life. So how to solve “energy shortage - petrol”. “ Petrol's burning CO2 and hazard gas out, bring pollution to our planet” “ high production costs” issues? Scientiests have been dedicated to the new technology's development. After decades, with PVD vacuum coating technology, it has solved these problems and improving this bad situation. Royal Technology has been working closely with customers in the past 5 years and successfully designed and fabricated high efficiency, commercialized and standardized sputtering deposition systems. We firmly believe that this technology will disrupt the vehicles industry.
Magnetron Sputtering Deposition Machine
Principle: Magnetron sputtering is a physical vapor deposition technique where material from a target is ejected onto a substrate to create a thin film coating. In this process, a plasma is formed in a vacuum chamber, and ions from the plasma bombard the target material, causing atoms to be ejected and deposited onto the substrate.
Components:
Vacuum Chamber: The machine consists of a vacuum chamber where the sputtering process takes place under controlled pressure conditions.
Target Material: The material to be deposited (e.g., metal or alloy) is placed as a target inside the chamber.
Substrate Holder: The substrate to be coated is positioned facing the target material.
Magnetron Source: A magnetron source is used to create a magnetic field that enhances the sputtering process, increasing the efficiency of material deposition.
Operation:
Sputtering: Gas ions (typically argon) are introduced into the chamber, creating a plasma discharge. The ions strike the target material, dislodging atoms or molecules.
Deposition: The ejected material from the target condenses on the substrate, forming a thin film coating.
Control Parameters: Parameters such as gas pressure, power supply voltage, and deposition time are controlled to achieve the desired film thickness, composition, and properties.
