The core advantage of the unique cylindrical design of the rotary target is the uniform utilisation of the target surface by physical rotation. This design not only optimises material consumption during sputtering, but also ensures a uniform distribution of the deposited material through continuous rotation. The rotational mechanism of the cylinder allows the sputtering beam to form a more uniform erosion path on the target surface, which greatly improves the utilisation of the target and ensures high efficiency and consistency in the thin film deposition process.

Rotary Targets vs Planar Targets
Target utilisation: Rotary targets, thanks to their unique rotating mechanism, can significantly increase target utilisation to over 70%-80%. Planar targets usually only achieve 40%-50% material utilisation.
Film Deposition Efficiency: Planar targets perform well in the deposition of small areas or specific shapes of films to meet specific performance requirements. Rotary targets show significant advantages in the uniform deposition of films over large areas. This not only improves deposition efficiency, but also ensures film uniformity and consistency, which is critical to improving product quality.
Cost Effectiveness: The lower initial cost of planar targets makes them ideal for applications with limited budgets or where film uniformity is not critical. Rotary targets, despite higher initial investment and maintenance costs, can save users more in material costs and improve productivity in the long run due to their high material utilisation and deposition efficiency.
