Abstract:
A method for producing flat panels for TFT or plasma display applications comprising:forming a sputter source within a sputter coating chamber by means of at least two electrically mutually isolated stationary bar-shaped target arrangements mounted one alongside the other and separated by respective slits, each of said target arrangements comprising a respective electric pad so that each of said target arrangements may be operated electrically independently from the other target arrangement;providing underneath of each of said target arrangements a controlled magnet arrangement generating a time varying magnetron field upon the respective target arrangement; andplacing a flat panel substrate to be produced distant and parallel and adjacent to said sputter source, thereby selectingV.sub.QS.ltoreq.3,wherein V.sub.QS is the ratio of sputtering surface of said source to substrate surface of said flat panel to be coated.
