Abstract:
1. A sample holder for physical vapor deposition equipment, which is disposed in a vacuum chamber for holding samples, comprising: a transmission mechanism comprising a stationary shaft and a transmission element connected to the stationary shaft; and at least one fastening mechanism comprising a rotation shaft not parallel with the stationary shaft of the transmission mechanism, a support arm for securely holding the rotation shaft, and a rotational disk assembly that drives the rotation shaft and the support arm to rotate about the transmission mechanism, two ends of the rotation shaft connecting a rotation element and an affixation base for affixing thereto the samples to be coated, wherein the rotation element rotates in response to the transmission element, thereby rendering the affixation base to perform inclined rotation wherein the affixation base of the fastening mechanism includes a base plate, a first insertion plate for inserting therein the samples to be coated, the insertion plate disposed above the base plate forming a separation space therebetween, and a ring surrounding the base plate and the first insertion plate.
