Some metal vapour ionization measurements in plasma beam evaporation systems

  • 1. Balzers Ltd., Wear Protection (Liechtenstein)

Description

The influence of the plasma configuration on the coating rate was investigated for a plasma beam ion plating system. The influence of substrate polarization, magnetic fields and shielding grids on the deposition rate can be used to estimate the ionized fraction of the metal vapour. The results are complemented by some Langmuir probe measurements. (orig.)
