A High-Current Electron Gun Integrated with a Magnetron Sputtering System

摘要

The description and the main performance specifications are presented for a device in which a high-current electron gun and a magnetron sputtering system are integrated in a common casing. This device is efficient for surface alloying on metallic materials. It is shown that the magnetic system of the magnetron does not degrade the characteristics of an electron beam that is formed in the gun and passed through a hole in the magnetron sputtering system.
