A system and method for sputter depositing a protective coating on a surface. The system includes a coating device, a first material for coating, a second material for coating and a surface to be coated. Preferably, the first material and the second material are sputter deposited on the surface in a predetermined proportion to yield a coating having tailored thermophysical and surface resistance properties. The proportion may be controlled by controlling exposed surface area of the first material and exposed surface area of the second material, as well as a magnetic field applied to the first and second materials.
