When a Single Temperature Reading Isn't Enough
11월 05, 2026
This blog explores why a single temperature reading may not provide enough insight into molten metal processes. It examines measurement challenges in demanding environments and how combining pyrometry with thermal imaging can provide a more complete view of changing thermal conditions, helping manufacturers better understand process consistency, equipment performance and product quality.

Dynamic Reverse Pulsing – What About the Anode?
12월 04, 2023
By Gayatri Rane
A previous AE blog, Dynamic Reverse Pulsing – What About Duty Cycle?, discussed reactive sputter deposition of insulating thin films in large-area coaters, describing the benefits of using the Dynamic Reverse Pulse (DRP) power-delivery mode over the bipolar (BP) mode of dual magnetron sputtering. In DRP mode , dual targets are bipolar pulsed against an explicit anode and the duty cycle can be varied so that the polarity is positive on the target for a shorter time during pulsing. This allows clearing of charge build-up on the targets. In our studies, DRP mode showed increased deposition rate and reduced substrate temperature when compared to similar depositions with the BP mode.
