Abstract

See full text

An adjustable shunt assembly for use with a sputtering magnetron having at least two magnets spaced from one another and disposed with respect to a sputtering target having a sputtering surface. The magnets define a longitudinal axis and the adjustable shunt assembly moves a shunt between the two magnets for altering the magnetic field therebetween. A transporter is used for moving the shunt so that such movement may be occurred without disassembling the components of the magnetron and such movement may also be done remotely. A method for moving such shunts is also disclosed.
