Abstract

Cathode sputtering apparatus with at least two adjacently arranged stations including a charging station and a coating station. At least one sputtering cathode and a substrate carrier that can execute reciprocatory movement between the stations are arranged on a vacuum chamber. The substrate carrier is secured by means of an extension arm eccentrically on a pivot bearing passing through the vacuum chamber. A coolant circulation line is led through the pivot bearing to the substrate holder.
