2. Smooth coating surface with minimized droplets due to:
- Virtual Shutter®
- fast ARC track motion
- at consistent target erosion
3. Nanocomposite deposition due to:
- highly ionized plasma with
- high magnetic field intensity
- with 2 phases, e.g.:
- (nc-TiAlN) / (a-Si3N4) or
|
5. Multi- and nanolayers in ultracompact units due to:
- optimum space usage by cylindrical, rotating cathodes on the side
4. Programmable Stoichiometry and deposition of:
- gradient coatings consisting of different coating types
- without changing the low-cost targets, e.g. from pure Ti, Al, AlSi
