Native target chemistry during reactive dc magnetron sputtering studied by ex-situ x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
We report x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis of native Ti target surface chemistry during magnetron sputtering in Ar/N2 atmosphere. To avoid air exposure, the target is capped immediately after sputtering with a few-nm-thick Al overlayers, hence, information about the chemical state of target elements as a function of N2 partial pressure pN2 is preserved. Contrary to previous repor...
متن کاملAlNXOY THIN FILMS DEPOSITED BY DC REACTIVE MAGNETRON SPUTTERING
AlNxOy thin films were produced by DC reactive magnetron sputtering, using an atmosphere of argon and a reactive gas mixture of nitrogen and oxygen, for a wide range of partial pressures of reactive gas. During the deposition, the discharge current was kept constant and the discharge parameters were monitored. The deposition rate, chemical composition, morphology, structure and electrical resis...
متن کاملThe Target Material Influence on the Current Pulse during High Power Pulsed Magnetron Sputtering
The current-time characteristic during high power pulsed magnetron sputtering is measured under identical conditions for seventeen different target materials. Based on physical processes such as gas rarefaction, ion-induced electron emission, and electron impact ionization, two test parameters were derived that significantly correlate with specific features of the current-time characteristic: (...
متن کاملSilicon Nitride Based Coatings Grown by Reactive Magnetron Sputtering
Silicon nitride and silicon nitride-based ceramics have several favorable material properties, such as high hardness and good wear resistance, which makes them important materials for the coating industry. This thesis focuses the synthesis of silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, and silicon carbonitride thin films by reactive magnetron sputtering. The films were characterized based on their che...
متن کاملHysteresis-free reactive high power impulse magnetron sputtering
High power impulse magnetron sputtering (HIPIMS) of an Al target in Ar/O2 mixtures has been studied. The use of HIPIMS is shown to drastically influence the process characteristics compared to conventional sputtering. Under suitable conditions, oxide formation on the target as the reactive gas flow is increased is suppressed, and the hysteresis effect commonly observed as the gas flow is varied...
