Abstract

A scanning magnetron sputtering system has been developed and its performance studies are carried out in terms of target utilization, substrate temperature, and film uniformity. The magnetic field on the target surface is scanned by electromechanical movement of magnet array along the length using a step motor. The target utilization efficiency is almost 100%, The substrate temperature rise was minimum (around 50 degrees C) even when the deposition rate is about 6500 Angstrom/min. It was found that al a target-substrate distance of 6.5 cm, and a sputtering pressure of 0.025 mbar, thickness uniformity of +3% has been achieved over an area of 120 mm X80 mm.
