Dear All, There are some rear defects on SiO2 layer deposited on CaF2 substrate by Si target reactive DC magnetron sputtering (U=470V, P = 6x10-4 torr, T = 100...
hi, I am depositing TiN on Silicon (100) substrates using reactive unbalanced magnetron sputtering. For some reason, I am getting very low hardness (less than...
Dear Vladimir These defects are called spits, which are similar to what you described. Try increasing source-to substrate distance and reduce sputtering rate...

1. How's your base pressure before deposition? 2.What's the indentation depth of your nanoindentation test? 3. What's the color of the coating? If your base...
Dear Vladimir, ... That is normal. ... Then use rf sputtering from the SiO2 target. From my experience this can be done without pinholes while reactive dc,...
Dear Manohar, Please mention your film thickness and your indentation depth. Also as suggested apply 1/10th rule. Caution must be excercised inusing this rule....
Professor Nadir, Thanks for your reply. I will try increasing the temperature. Do you recommend using RF substrate bias or DC substrate bias. During my...
Hi, I am using base pressure around 9*10^-7 to 1*10^-6. Colour of my coatings appears a little bit brownish. WhatI did notice was, when the coating thickness...

Dear Vladimir, My experience shows that you can deposit defect-free SiO2 layers using MF pulsed reactive sputtering of doped Si target, if the pulse frequency...
Dear Manohar, The brownish colour could be related to the N/Ti ratio (for N/Ti higher than 1.02 the films became darker) and also to the surface roughness (due...

In my experiences, higher working pressure, lower temperature and positive bias could caused the brown. Higher negative bias may resolve it. With best Regards...
Dear Manohar, It will be better to use negative to ground DC bias (-50 to -200V usually). The brownish colour of your TiN layer is due to the excess of N2 in...
