Abstract:
A merged ion beam and plasma vapor thin film deposition chamber comprising:at least one ion beam deposition target module; said at least one of the ion beam deposition target module having a plurality of ion beam deposition (IBD) targets; at least one cathodic sputtering target module; said at least one of the cathodic sputtering target module having a plurality of physical vapor deposition (PVD) targets; a rotatable substrate positioned on a substrate holder for depositing material from the ion beam deposition targets and the physical vapor deposition targets thereon to form a plurality of films; and a movable shutter aligned with the substrate for precluding undesired deposition of the material from the ion beam deposition targets and the physical vapor deposition targets on the substrate during cleaning of the ion beam deposition target module and the cathodic sputtering target module.
