摘要
The physical sputtering of gold surfaces by argon-hydrogen pulsed direct-current glow discharges has been measured for various gas compositions, and an optimum has been found at 5-20% H-2. Furthermore, the energy distributions of the ions hitting the cathodic surface have been measured and correlated to the sputtering rates using known sputtering-yield curves. It was found that the largest contribution to the ion sputtering originated from ArH+, the fluxes and energies of Ar+ being significantly smaller than for ArH+. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A.
