Deposition of Nb
Niobium can be deposited by e-beam evaporation or sputtering. In the chart below you can compare the deposition equipment.
E-beam evaporation (Temescal) | Sputter deposition (Lesker) | |
---|---|---|
General description | E-beam deposition of Nb
(line-of-sight deposition) |
Sputter deposition of Nb
(not line-of-sight deposition) |
Pre-clean | Ar ion bombardment | RF Ar clean |
Layer thickness | 10Å to 200 nm* | 10Å to 600 nm** |
Deposition rate | 0.5Å/s to 5Å/s | ~1Å/s |

Comment | Substrates get heated during the deposition.
For 100 nm Nb at 2 Å/s, the substrate reached about 105 °C. |
* To deposit layers thicker than 200 nm permission is required to ensure that there is enough metal (contact metal@danchip.dtu.dk)
** To deposit layers thicker than 600 nm permission is required to ensure that there is enough metal (contact metal@danchip.dtu.dk)
