Hey Bard: Can you describe the basics of sputtering in the poem in the style of Steven Tyler.

Sputtering

(Verse 1)
Oh, sputtering, sputtering, what a magical thing
You can make thin films of anything
From metals to semiconductors to insulators galore
Sputtering, sputtering, I want more and more

(Chorus)
Sputtering, sputtering, you're so hot
You make my atoms go pop, pop, pop
Sputtering, sputtering, you're so divine
You make my thin films so fine

(Verse 2)
You start with a target and a substrate
Then you create a plasma, it's really great
The ions bombard the target with all their might
And the atoms fly off, taking flight

(Chorus)
Sputtering, sputtering, you're so hot
You make my atoms go pop, pop, pop
Sputtering, sputtering, you're so divine
You make my thin films so fine

(Bridge)
Sputtering, sputtering, you're the best
You're better than all the rest
You're used to make chips and devices so small
Sputtering, sputtering, you stand tall

(Chorus)
Sputtering, sputtering, you're so hot
You make my atoms go pop, pop, pop
Sputtering, sputtering, you're so divine
You make my thin films so fine

(Outro)
Sputtering, sputtering, I love you so
You're the best thin film deposition process, I know

I hope you like it!
