Patent ID: 7300557

Claim:
A method for the targeted application of deposition material onto a substrate in a PVD system, in which the particle jets sputtered off by a sputter target ( 22 ) of a sputtering cathode ( 20 ) pass through a filter ( 90 ) with several channel-like individual structures ( 60 ) onto the substrate ( 30 ), as a result of which the sputter particle flux is limited to a narrow angular range, and the particle jets are applied onto the substrate at an angle different from 90°, whereby the angle remains constant during the application process, characterized in that the particle jets pass through channel-like individual structures ( 60 ) of the filter ( 90 ) that are at an angle different from 90° relative to the substrate, whereby the sputtering cathode ( 20 ) deposits the material jets at the same angle relative to the surface of the substrate; and that the particle jets are applied inside a device in a first station at an angle γ and in a second station at an angle φ, whereby the angles of incidence differ from each other.
