The IONIX® IX6U magnetron sputtering source has a target diameter of 152,4 mm (6‘‘) and can be used with non-ferromagnetic targets of 6 – 12 mm thickness.

This magnetron features indirect cooling of the target. A discrete target clamping ring and a sliding anode enable to adjust the dark space gap for different target thicknesses. The magnetron is fully UHV compatible and it utilizes only metallic seals as well as construction materials with low-outgassing rate. It is bakeable up to 200 °C with its magnets mounted. It can operate in DC, AC, RF and pulsed power mode.

A model for magnetic target materials is optionally available. The IX6U can either be internally mounted with CF63 (CF16/CF40) interface or directly flange mounted on a CF200 flange.
