Abstract: High power impulse magnetron sputtering (HIPIMS) is an emerging highionization physical vapor deposition technology which was has gained substantial interests. It utilizes pulses of high peak power density (2-3 orders higher than the conventional magnetron sputtering) and low duty cycle (0.5%-10%) leading to high ionization of metal atoms. This mode has distinguished advantages during deposition:  high adhesive strength, controllable microstructure and phase structure, and decreased residual stress, etc. This review covers the basic principle of HIPIMS, the characteristic of films & coatings deposited by HIPIMS, and the developments of HIPIMS technologies in the recent 10 years: optimization of coatingsubstrate interface in the coated cutting tools, deposition of highperformance hard coatings, nanolayered/nanocomposite coatings by hybrid HIPIMS, oxide coatings, lowtemperature coatings, etc. 

Key words: high power impulse magnetron sputtering; ionization ratio; hard coating; reactive sputtering
