Thanks for inspiring videos, Sam. I was prototyping and fabricating an IGP for my system this weekend and the plate my tanks rests on was damaged and now I am like a fish out of water. I am visiting family so I can't make a new plate until I get back home. I am a frustrated thumb twiddler for the next two weeks. ☹️
So if you were to fix a piece of silicon and some asrenic inside the plasma, would you be able to grow a n-type layer on a target? (Given that you provide some acceleration voltage) If that works one could easily build npn transistors on p type wafers using some simple masks, right?
Ohhh you maybe have experience with this. Have you deposited tungsten on metal substrates with ion sputtering? Im trying to make some targets for a transmission style x-ray tube, those have a layer of W about 15μm deposited on beryllium, aluminium or titanium.
an ion pump ionizes the gas in the chamber and accelerates it into a reactive metal target, which traps it, bringing the pressure in the chamber down to a possible 10 to -11th power millibar.
Anyone not sure what they are seeing in the video, or those enjoying the video, should check out Sam's amazing blog. Amazingly prolific projects

Is it possible to use the RF power source?
doesi on pump and getter pump are same?
yes
What does the pump do?
