A. Magnetron History (continuation)
There are more than one method of depositing PVD coatings, magnetron sputtering and arc evaporation being among them. But what is magnetron itself? In electronics, it is a two-element vacuum tube in which the flow of electrons is under the influence of an external magnetic field, used to generate extremely short radio waves.
In 1921 Albert Wallace Hull from New York invented the magnetron as a powerful microwave tube. His two-pole magnetron, also known as a split-anode magnetron, had relatively low efficiency. The cavity version proved to be far more useful. There was an urgent need during radar development in World War II for a high-power microwave generator that worked in a shorter wavelength – around 10 cm rather than 150 cm – available from two-based generators of the time. It is known that multi-cavity resonant magnetron was developed in 1935 by Hans Hallmann in Berlin. However, the German military considered its frequency drift to be undesirable, and based their radar systems on the klystron instead. It was for this reason that German night fighter radars were never a match for their British counterparts.
Since then, many millions of cavity magnetrons have been manufactured:
some for radar, but the vast majority for another application far more domestic – the microwave oven. In radars developers have moved to klystron and traveling wave tube systems.

B. Unbalanced Magnetron. Magnetron Application
An unbalanced magnetron possesses stronger magnets on the outside resulting in the expansion of the plasma away from the surface of the target towards the substrate. In an unbalanced magnetron, the outer North poles are stronger than the inner South poles. Therefore the field lines stretch further into the vacuum chamber. The effect of the unbalanced magnetic field is to trap fast moving secondary electrons that escape from the target surface. These electrons undergo ionizing collisions with neutral gas atoms away from the target surface and produce a greater number of ions and further electrons in the region of the substrate, considerably increasing the substrate ion bombardment. Effectively a secondary plasma is formed in the region of the substrate. When a negative bias is applied to the substrate, ions from this secondary plasma are accelerated to the substrate and bombard it; this ion bombardment is used to control the many properties of the growing film.
With the development of the unbalanced magnetron the substrate ion current that could be achieved and therefore the quality of the coatings increased dramatically. But more was to come with the development of multi-magnetron geometry with magnetic field linkage.
How is a magnetron used to coat tools and components?
While coating tools and components when power is supplied to the magnetron a negative voltage of typically –300V or more is applied to the target. This attracts argon ions to the target surface at speed. When they collide with the surface two important processes take place: Firstly atoms are knocked out of the target surface with mean kinetic energies of 4 to 6 eV – this is sputtering. Secondly, secondary electrons are emitted from the target surface that become trapped by the magnetic fields and undergo further ionizing collisions sustaining the plasma.
Also during the sputtering process a glow is observed. It is caused by excited ions relaxing to a lower energy state and emitting energy in the form of light. Different elements emit the visible light at a different wavelength and therefore a different color will be observed.
A magnetron consists of a plate of the material of which all or part of the coating is to consist with magnets arranged behind it with alternating polarity. See below the basic schematic of a magnetron.
