Abstract

See full text

A shield for use in a sputtering system. The shield includes a support having an inner expanse defining a two-dimensional array of cavities. The cavities are formed of two-dimensionally concave wall surfaces, where the intersections of the wall surfaces of adjacent cavities form a two-dimensional array of edges on the expanse. The shield minimizes the tendency of material deposited on the shield surface, such as sputtered carbon material, from flaking off during a sputtering operation. Also disclosed is a sputtering assembly that employs the shield.
