Posted: Thu Jul 31, 2008 4:02 pm Post subject: Sputtering of Cr film |
|
|
Hi,
I am having issues with magnetron sputtering of Cr. The chamber and
the film seems to have coloration after depositing the film at 3 mTorr
and a DC power of 50-100 W. Since the Cr film should look like a nomal
metal (no color), I am looking to find solution to this issue. Also,
can anybody help me in understanding the drift in the manometer
pressure reading when the plasma is turned on for deposition?
I would appreciate any input.
thanks. |

I would check the purity of your sputtering gas as well as the base
pressure. If you have access to an RGA, use that prior to sputtering and
just after.

What purge gas are you using before pulling a vacuum? |
