摘要： This invention relates to generation and control of electron emission and transport in a plasma device for enhancing ionization in sputtering, including magnetron sputtering, ion treatment, thermal evaporation, electron beam evaporation. The device in combines a sputtering enhanced electron emission on a cathodic element in which a strong electrical field around the electron emission element is created. In addition, this electric field area is in a magnetically confined space of nearly null strength and/or magnetic mirror features. The electron emission area would also comprise of guided magnetic field extraction magnetic field paths which could be either permanent or created at pulse modes. Also, the invention relates to reactive process and coating deposition ion bombardment management. This invention also relates to the use in feedback control systems; manufacturing process and methods which use these devices and materials and components processed by the present invention are also part of the invention.

摘要： A method is provided for automated tuning and calibration of feedback control of systems and processes. A series of actuator pulses are automatically performed and, based on the gradient of the sensor response, information is determined on the dynamics of the system to be controlled in what is described as the system identification procedure. An automatic sensor calibration procedure is performed to determine the controller's window of operation. Based on the information collected during the system identification procedure, controller parameters are automatically calculated for a specified time for the sensor to reach a setpoint. A system that is managed and/or controlled by a controller and/or control algorithm is also provided. The disclosed method provides a scheme for parameterization of control algorithms.

摘要： An apparatus (lb) and method of depleting a plasma of electrons in a plasma coating apparatus is disclosed. The invention involves generating a plasma comprising ions (9), particulate material (5) and electrons (6) adjacent a target (4); forming a plasma trap (52) to constrain the plasma near to the target (4), and depleting the plasma of electrons by: providing an additional magnetic field (8b) that is superimposed over the magnetic field of the plasma trap (3, 52), which extends beyond a boundary layer (52) of the plasma trap, and which draws electrons (6) from, or near to, the boundary layer (52) of the plasma trap away from the target (4). The invention proposes applying a baseline voltage (50) to the target (4); and by applying periodic voltage pulses (13b) to the target (4). The additional magnetic field (8b) depletes the plasma of electrons, such that when a voltage pulse (13b) is applied to the target (4), ions (9) can be ejected from the plasma with reduced electron shielding. This has been shown to improve ion bombardment and reduce adverse electron bombardment effects.

摘要： This invention relates to magnetically enhanced cathodic plasma deposition and cathodic plasma discharges where the charged particles can be guided in a rarefied vacuum system. Specifically, a cluster or combination of cathodic plasma sources is described where a least two plasma source units are arranged in a rarefied gas vacuum system in such way that the resulting magnetic field interaction offers a guided channelling escape path of electrons in essentially perpendicular direction to the main bulk of neutral particles and droplets generated in the cathodic plasma source. In addition the cathodic plasma source arrangement of the present invention would generate a zone of very low magnetic field where the electrons are trapped via electric and magnetic fields. Ions generated by the plasma cluster would follow electrons via escape paths determined by electric and magnetic fields. The direction for the ions is fundamentally different from those of the neutral particles offering in this manner a charged particles filtering method. The invention could take form in different embodiments and different arrangements of these plasma clusters, interacting by magnetic interactions in such a way that the plasma would cross areas for the desired plasma treatment and/or coating of suitable substrates.
