==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<sup>-3</sup> mbar'''
With use of the settings 150W and 1*10<sup>-3</sup> mbar, a surface with low roughness is deposited.

Deposition of TiW alloy can be done in the Wordentec. If necessary, processes may also be developed for depositing TiW in the Lesker sputter setups (contact responsible staff for this).
