Deposited rates

Depening on the settings (pressure and effect) during the sputtering process, the roughness and grain size of the deposited layer can be different. The deposition rate will also change with different settings, as seen below.

The rate is established to be 1.3 Å/s (in the center of the 4" wafer, 1.0 Å/s at the edge).

This corresponds to a deposition time of 1 min 16 seconds for deposition of 10 nm.

The rate is established to be 2.2 Å/s (in the center of the 4" wafer, 1.8 Å/s at the edge).

This corresponds to a deposition time of 45 seconds for deposition of 10 nm.

The rate is established to be 1.3 Å/s (in the center of the 4" wafer, 1.0 Å/s at the edge).

This corresponds to a deposition time of 1 minute 15 seconds for deposition of 10 nm.


Pressure Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle 5*10^{-2}} mbar, Effect 250 W

The rate is established to be 2.4 Å/s (in the center of the 4" wafer, 1.6 Å/s at the edge).

This corresponds to a deposition time of 42 seconds for deposition of 10 nm.


Deposition rates measured August-September 2008, KNIL.


Deposited film characteristics

AFM pictures show how the surface roughness is dependent on the process parameters.

For the sputter process, the effect and argon pressure can be set to different values. Depending on the process parameters, the deposited layers will have different characteristics: the roughness, grain size and uniformity may be differnt.


Effect 150 W, pressure 1*10-3 mbar

With use of the settings 150W and 1*10-3 mbar, a surface with low roughness is deposited.
