Abstract

See full text

A magnetic assembly (15) is mounted on a lead screw (12) on one side of a spunter target (14). A further lead screw (11) carries a counter weight (16). The lead screws can be rotated by a stepper motor (13) to adjust the lateral positions of assembly (15) and weight (16). The stepper motor and hence the assembly (15), can be rotated about a vertical axis by shaft (17) and motor (18) so that a magnetic field can be swept around the target (14). The position of the assembly (15) is varied in accordance with a process characteristic.
