PVD-ARC-Systems need reliable Shielding from uncontrolled Electron Beams

Insulating shrouds must possess high dielectric strength

In PVD systems a particular solid material – the so called target – is vaporised and then deposited by condensation onto a substrate. This can be achieved by several methodologies. In the ARC process the target is vaporised by means of a high energy voltaic arc. Since this electron beam is unguided, insulating shrouds and other shielding components are required to keep it on target and prevent equipment damage.

A further area that needs to be addressed with all PVD and plasma systems is unwanted metal deposition on the walls and on other components of the vacuum chamber.

HeBoSint® has become the industry standard

Insulating shrouds and strips made from HeBoSint®, HENZE´s sintered Boron Nitride, reliably constrain the voltaic arc within the necessary limits. This high temperature ceramic material is to be found in nearly all PVD-ARC units the world over.

Owing to its durability, which is superior to that of glass bonded mica, HeBoSint® is also becoming the material of choice for sub frames in PVD systems.

In all plasma and PVD systems unwanted metal deposits can be easily removed from surfaces which have been previously treated with HeBoCoat® liquids.
