MICROCHANNEL PLATE AND METHOD OF MAKING THE MICROCHANNEL PLATE WITH METAL CONTACTS SELECTIVELY FORMED ON ONE SIDE OF CHANNEL OPENINGS

A night vision system, a microchannel plate (MCP), and a planetary deposition system and methodology are provided for selectively depositing an electrode contact metal on one side of MCP channel openings. MCPs can be secured to a face of a platter that rotates about its central platter axis. The rotating platter can be tilted on a fixture surrounding an evaporative source of contact metal. A mask with a variable size mask opening is arranged between the rotating platter and the evaporative source. While the mask orbits around the evaporative source with the rotating platter, the mask does not rotate along its own axis as does the rotating platter. Depending on the opening of the non-rotating mask, and the tilt angle of the rotating platter, the respective circumferential distance around and the depth into the shaded first side of the channel opening is controlled.

A film formation method includes: providing a film formation apparatus including a substrate support, a target holder, and a magnet unit; forming a film on a substrate by a magnetron sputtering of a target; and performing a serial communication monitoring to repeatedly acquire information on power from a power supply through serial communication. The magnet unit oscillates in a predetermined direction along the target, and the serial communication is performed to switch the power supplied to the target holder when the magnet unit reaches a predetermined power switch position while oscillating, such that when the magnet unit faces the end of the target, the power increases, and when the magnet unit faces the center of the target, the power decreases. The serial communication monitoring stops at least from a predetermined time before the time point when the magnet unit reaches the power switching position until the serial communication is completed.
