The target is subjected to a high frequency power having a frequency from about 400 kHz to about 4 MHz at power levels of greater than about 1 kW. In one particular embodiment, the method can be generally directed to sputtering thin films on individual substrates defining a surface having a surface area of about 1000 cm | 10-27-2011 |
| 20120000765 | METHODS OF ARC DETECTION AND SUPPRESSION DURING RF SPUTTERING OF A THIN FILM ON A SUBSTRATE - Methods and systems of arc suppression during RF sputtering of a thin film from a semiconducting target onto a substrate are provided. During sputtering, an alternating current of RF frequency can be applied to a semiconducting target to form a plasma. Upon formation of an arc extending from the target, an arc signature can be detected, where the arc signature is simultaneously defined by decreasing plasma voltage from an initial sputtering plasma voltage to an arc plasma voltage and increasing reflective power from an initial sputtering reflective power to an arc reflective power. Upon identification of the arc signature, the alternating current can be temporarily interrupted to the semiconducting target to suppress the arc extending from the target. Thereafter, the alternating current from the electrical power supply can be reapplied to the semiconducting target. | 01-05-2012 |
| 20120000767 | METHODS AND APPARATUS OF ARC PREVENTION DURING RF SPUTTERING OF A THIN FILM ON A SUBSTRATE - Methods of arc prevention during sputtering of a thin film from a semiconducting target onto a substrate are provided. An alternating current (e.g., having a frequency of about 500 kHz to 15 MHz) can be applied from an electrical power supply to the semiconducting target to form a plasma between the substrate and the semiconducting target. This alternating current can be temporarily interrupted for a time sufficient to sustain the plasma between the substrate and the semiconducting target to inhibit arc formation during sputtering. Sputtering systems are also generally provided for arc prevention during sputtering of a thin film from a semiconducting target onto a substrate. | 01-05-2012 |
