Abstract

An arc magnetron is described in which an edge magnet arrangement is displaceable in the axial direction relative to a preferably fixedly mounted center pole permanent magnet so that a cathode sputtering process and/or an arc discharge process can be realized in dependence on the relative position of the edge magnet arrangement and the center pole magnet.
