ABSTRACT:
To adapt ion milling of thin film devices to the requirements of large scale industrial production a configuration of ion source and device holders is proposed which allows the simultaneous processing of a large number of devices. In the proposed configuration ions are emitted radially from a cylindrical source and strike surfaces to be patterned on devices attached to device holders which rotate and revolve around the ion source in planetary fashion.
