High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering (HiPIMS)HiPIMS - Power supplyHigh power pulsed magnetronsputtering (HPPMS)HiPIMSa pulse of very highamplitude, an impulse, isapplied to the cathode and along pause exists betweenthe pulsesModulated pulse power (MPP)the initial stages of the pulse(few hundred µs) the powerlevel is moderate (typical fora dcMS) followed by a highpower pulse (few hundred µsup to a ms)From Gudmundsson et al. (2012), JVSTA 30 030801Power density limitsp t = 0.05 kW/cm 2 dcMS limitp t = 0.5 kW/cm 2 HiPIMS limit
