Abstract

See full text

A magnet arrangement which is usable as both a retrofit magnetic arrangement in a rotatable cylindrical magnetron sputtering electrode as well as a drive assembly in communication with the electrode for delivering high current into a target surface without adding highly incremental cost to the overall design of the electrode. The electrode includes a cathode body defining a magnet receiving chamber, a rotatable cylindrical target surrounding the cathode body, wherein the target is rotatable about the cathode body. The cathode body further defines a magnet arrangement received within the magnet receiving chamber, wherein the magnet arrangement comprised of a plurality of magnets wherein at least one of the magnets is a profiled magnet having a contoured top portion.
