摘要
Preparation of films using the arc ion plating (AIP) process encounters a significant problem in that macroparticles are produced. To overcome this problem, the effect of a modified AIP source, characterized by the presence of a magnetic field on the plasma stream, has been investigated. The surface properties of TiN films were examined by varying the magnetic field strength and the pressure of nitrogen; quantitative measurements were made using an image analyser. It was found that the number of macroparticles could be reduced to 10% of that of the conventional process and that a high deposition rate, similar to that of the conventional process, could be achieved.
