摘要
Titanium and titanium oxide thin films have been deposited on (100) silicon wafers and glass substrates by r.f reactive sputtering magnetron. Substrates have been r.f. biased during the growth of the him and the influence of the bias power on some properties of the coatings has been investigated. The results of the deposition rate measurements show that this is weakly affected when bias power is low. As the r.f. bias power increases, the deposition rate decreases strongly due to an increase of the layer density and resputtering phenomena. Atomic force microscopy showed that the surface morphology of metallic and oxide films can be modified using bias treatment. Roughness analyses exhibited a similar evolution as the deposition rate and surface topography when bias power changes. Optical properties like refractive index followed the same variations as previous results. So, when r.f. bias power increases, various phenomena take place and different zones can be defined from these investigations. Argon ion to atom arrival rate ratio and average energy per deposited atom have been calculated from experimental values of current density applied to the substrate and energy of argon ions impinging on the growing film. Their evaluations have been discussed for metallic and oxide materials. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
