Reactive Magnetron Sputter Deposition (T2)- 5/14/25

Wednesday, May 14, 1:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m.

Summary

The addition of a reactive gas such as oxygen or nitrogen strongly affect the discharge properties and the film growth. This module focuses on the several features of this process.

Topics

  • Definition of reactive sputtering
  • Hysteresis experiments
  • Modelling of the process curve
  • Target poisoning
  • Avoiding abrupt changes
  • Feedback control
