A 3-D model for the deposition rate in a sputtering system is developed. It compares well with experiments given the dc magnetron sputtering system used for the study. Both fast-moving and slow-moving depositing particles are considered in the model development, since the depositing flux consists of both. A distributive source model is …

Substrates were first sputter-cleaned for 10 min using an Ar ion beam generated by an anode layer ion source with a bias voltage of −600 V. After that, a pure Ti buffer layer with a thickness about 300 nm was deposited on the substrate by DCMS (DC 4020, Huettinger) at 4 kW (~485 V and ~9 A) and −100 V bias voltage for 20 min.

Magnetron sputtering deposition is a fast technique for applying a thin layer of inorganic materials on a substrate, such as ITO or metallic contacts. The magnetron ionizes argon gas which then accelerates towards the cathode where the target materials is located. The stream of argon ions erodes away the target material making a charged cloud ...

A decrease of deposition rate with a decrease of the magnetic field strength is seen for the deposition of Ti in DC and pulsed DC magnetron sputtering [49]. The difference of deposition rate at constant power for HiPIMS and DC magnetron sputtering can be partly related to higher discharge voltage in HiPIMS as reported in Ref. [26]. 3.2.

Definition of Magnetron Sputtering. Sputter deposition is the process whereby particles of the sputtering materials are sputtered out and deposited on a substrate to form a film. Since ions are charged particles, we can add magnetic fields to control their speed and behavior. And that's where its name "magnetron sputtering" comes from.

Sputter deposition. Sputter deposition is a physical vapor deposition method of thin film deposition in which a high-purity source material (called a cathode or target) is subjected to a gas plasma (typically argon ). The energetic atoms in this gas plasma collide with the target material and knock off source atoms which then travel to …

DC Diode Plasmas. The simplest type of sputtering apparatus, the DC diode, consists of two plates, a vacuum chamber, and a power supply (see Figure 4.4 ). A sputtering gas, typically argon, is introduced at a pressure in the millitorr range, and voltage is applied across the plates. Above a threshold breakdown voltage (depending on sputter gas ...

Introduction. The so-called magnetron sputtering technique has been used as a coating method since as early as around the 1970s. Long before the physics of the sputtering process was really known, it was called "cathode sputtering," "Kathodenzerstäubung" (German), or "pulvèrisation de cathodique" (French).
