Chopping effect observed at cathodic arc initiation
Chopping of current and induction of high voltage spikes has been observed at the rising edge of cathodic vacuum arcs. It is argued that current chopping at the rising edge is similar to the current chopping effect that is well-know for the arc current approaching current-zero. Current chopping can generate high voltage spikes, and thus cathodic arc equipment should be protected against voltage...
متن کاملFiltered cathodic arc deposition with ion-species-selective bias.
A dual-cathode arc plasma source was combined with a computer-controlled bias amplifier to synchronize substrate bias with the pulsed production of plasma. In this way, bias can be applied in a material-selective way. The principle has been applied to the synthesis of metal-doped diamondlike carbon films, where the bias was applied and adjusted when the carbon plasma was condensing and the subs...
متن کاملAchieving high mobility ZnO : Al at very high growth rates by dc filtered cathodic arc deposition
Achieving a high growth rate is paramount for making large-area transparent conducting oxide coatings at a low cost. Unfortunately, the quality of thin films grown by most techniques degrades as the growth rate increases. Filtered dc cathodic arc is a lesser known technique which produces a stream of highly ionized plasma, in stark contrast to the neutral atoms produced by standard sputter sour...
متن کاملPlasma-based ion implantation utilising a cathodic arc plasma
Plasma-based ion implantation (PBII) is usually carried out with isotropic gaseous plasmas, such as a discharge in nitrogen. More recently, it has been applied using drifting plasmas, such as those produced by cathodic arcs, in order to allow efficient implantation of metallic species. The condensable nature of a cathodic arc plasma allows for the deposition of ion-stitched thin film coatings, ...
متن کاملDeposition of permalloy films by filtered cathodic vacuum arc
The filtered cathodic vacuum arc technique was employed to deposit magnetic films such as FeNi on silicon substrate. Using the normal cathode design, tetrahedral amorphous carbon and metals films can be deposited. If a magnetic target is used, the arc spot always preferably moves to the edge of the target and then extinguishes. Therefore, the arc is not stable and no film can be deposited. A ca...
