[0025] The rotating motor 2 drives the rotating shaft 3, driving the rotating platform 4 to rotate horizontally around the vertical axis, so that the substrate can be evenly covered with a thin film during the deposition process. The flipping motor 5 drives the flipping shaft 6, and the flipping platform 7 is linked through the transmission member, so that the substrate can be flipped while rotating horizontally (such as ±90°), so that the two sides of the substrate can be processed alternately during the deposition process; the stepping motor 19 drives the screw 20 to drive the platform lifting rod 22 to adjust the distance between the coating material and the substrate to meet different deposition process requirements.

[0027] According to a further optimization scheme, the transmission ratio of the first pulley 8 is 1:5.

[0028] When the rotating motor 2 starts working, the rotating platform 4 rotates horizontally with the axis of the rotating shaft 3 as the center, and the turning platform 7 is partially controlled by the turning shaft 6 without causing interference. The speed is reduced by the pulley ratio (1:5) to match the coating process requirements.

The target gun is connected to the turning platform 7 and the rotating platform 4. When the target gun is lifted or lowered, the substrate can move up and down.
