Abstract

1,169,747. R.F. sputtering. EDWARDS HIGH VACUUM INTERNATIONAL Ltd. July 19, 1967 [July 29, 1966], No.34235/66. Heading C7F. In a R.F. sputtering process a pair of non grounded co-planar electrodes associated with the material to be sputtered are mounted in a vacuum chamber, a glow discharge is initiated and a R.F. voltage applied to the electrodes. A magnetic field may be applied near the electrodes and bias sputtering may be effected by means of a second pair of non grounded co-planar electrodes which form part of a carrier for preferably an insulating substrate. A R.F. voltage applied to the second pair is of such a value in relation to the size of these electrodes that the substrate is bias sputtered with an intensity less than that of the sputtering of the source material. The material to be sputtered may be the material of the electrodes or an insulating material e.g. glass coating the electrodes or bridging the electrodes. The electrodes may be round discs, D-shaped, or a round disc surrounded by an annulus. (Registered Trade Mark) "Pyrex" may be sputtered on to lead oxide glass, SiO 2 on to glass and cermets may also be sputtered from a target comprising an insulator with metal strips across its exposed surface. As shown in the figure accompanying the provisional Specification two D-shaped co-planar electrodes 3 and 4 coated with a glass target 7 are attached to a R.F. source and a sputtered deposit is formed on substrate 8 which may rotate above the target 7 and may also be water cooled. Figs. 4, 5 and 6 (not shown) show bias sputtering arrangements, each with two pairs of D-shaped, disc shaped and concentrically arranged coplanar electrodes. In order that the bias sputtering is less intensive than the main sputtering the bias electrodes are tapped on to the secondary of the transformer to give a lower R.F. voltage, a suitable power ratio between main and biased being 10:1. The discharge may be generated and maintained by the R.F. source, or it may be proceeded by an anode cathode system. The R.F. source is between 10 Kc/s and 100 Mc/s to provide an operating voltage 500 Volts to 5 KVolts.
