In existing magnetron sputtering devices, the connection between the target and the backplate is not strong enough and is prone to separation, resulting in unstable fixation.

Method used

The system employs a spring-driven sliding plate and insert rod structure. The downward movement of the triangular block drives the sliding plate, sliding rod, and baffle to move, allowing the insert rod to be inserted into the insertion hole of the connecting plate under the elastic force of the spring, thus achieving a stable connection between the target and the back plate.

Benefits of technology

This enables reliable installation and separation of the target and the backplate, improves the stability of the connection, and avoids separation problems caused by the detachment of the limit block.
