A variety of cathodic arc plasma sources have been designed and operated depending on the
specific application. Our smallest source has a cathode diameter of 3 mm and is operated in a
pulsed mode (typical pulse length 250 ps, 1-5 Hz); it is suited for the deposition of monolayers up
to films of 10 nm. Our largest source has a cathode diameter of 50 mm, is water-cooled, can
operate continuously, and is designed for the deposition of thick films in the micron range on large
substrates. For high-quality applications, macroparticle-free films are required, and all our sources
can be combined with 90 degrees bent magnetic macroparticle filters of various sizes. For other
applications a slight macroparticle contamination of the films can be tolerated and the sources are
operated without a filter. The sources and/or the substrates can be mounted on moveable
feedthroughs which allows the coating of complex or large substrates. A detailed description of
sources and filters can be found elsewhere [3-71.
