Abstract
Construction and operation of a cylindrical magnetron sputtering system for coating glass tubes with solar selective surfaces is described. A metal carbide on copper selective surface produced in the coater is discussed in terms of uniformity of coating thickness, electrical and optical properties. Short pumpdown times and high deposition rates make this a medium volume productive system.
