Abstract:
Systems and methods for depositing a thin film layer onto a flexible ferromagnetic substrate include a porous block in a deposition zone and a plurality of magnets embedded within the porous block. The magnets provide a downward force on a flexible ferromagnetic substrate being transported over the porous block, e.g., in a reel-to-reel system. Pressurized gas is forced upward through the porous block, providing an upward force that balances the downward force and supports the substrate at a desired height above the porous block. The substrate is thus held flat during transport through the deposition zone, enabling uniform deposition of a thin film layer.

Claim (Index 12):
The method of  claim 11 , wherein the upward force is sufficient to maintain the substrate at a distance in the range of 10-20 micrometers (\u03bcm) from the underlying surface.
