摘要
The aim of this work is to investigate the influence of the magnetron configuration on the magnetic properties of DC magnetron sputtered Co88Cr12 films on a PET substrate. The parameters of each magnetron configuration are calculated or measured. The influence of the most relevant sputtering parameters, such as a Cr underlayer and sputter pressure, is investigated for all configurations. The magnetic properties of the sputtered films were measured with a VSM. Microscopic characterisation of the films is done with XRD measurements. Changes in magnetic and microscopic properties of the films are explained in terms of charged particle bombardment of the substrate during sputtering. Using a Cr underlayer and a rather high pressure can improve the magnetic properties of the film drastically. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
