Theoretical analysis of plasma parameters on film deposition in planer and cylindrical magnetron sputtering

Thin film deposition using plasma sputter is done by experimental methods, though Numerical simulation and theory are capable of generating realistic and useful results. In present exploration a theoretical model for sputtering with consequence of different plasma parameters with the help of electromagnetic lenses for planar (T_p) and cylindrical (T_c) magnetron sputtering has been conversed. The plasma of helium gas on nickel metal object which contains the velocity shear instability is considered, and T_p,T_c, under the influence of shear scale length (A_i), homogeneous DC electric field (E₀), magnetic field (B₀), density gradient ε_nρ_i) have been evaluated. Tp, and Tc are found to be maximum in the range of 0.815–0.91, and 0.57–0.90, respectively. Also growth rate showed direct relation to E₀ and A_i but inversely varies with B₀ and ε_nρ_i. (author)
