Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for providing power pulses for PVD sputter cathodes which comprise a power consumption component and a cathode element, wherein during a power increase interval for a generator the power on the power consumption component is decreased and then the power on the cathode element is decreased, with changeover being effected such that the power draw from the generator providing the power does not have to be interrupted.
