Energy flux measurements in high power impulse magnetron sputtering

The total energy flux in a high power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) plasma has been measured using thermal probes. Radial flux (parallel to the magnetron surface) as well as axial flux (perpendicular to the magnetron surface) were measured at different positions, and resulting energy flux profiles for the region between the magnetron and the substrate are presented. It was found that th...

Off-normal Film Growth by High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering

In this study we contribute towards establishing the process-microstructure relationships in thin films grown off-normally by ionized physical vapor deposition. High power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) is used at various peak target powers and deposition rates to grow copper (Cu) and chromium (Cr) films from a cathode placed at an angle 90 degrees with respect to the substrate normal. F...
