摘要:
The invention relates to the deposition, in a magnetron reactor (1) fitted with a magnetron cathode (CM), of at least one material on a substrate (11a), said material being vaporized, by means of magnetron cathodic pulverization, with the aid of a gas which is ionized in a pulsed mode. In order to promote the formation of high current pulses of a short duration, while avoiding the formation of arcs and enabling efficient ionization of the pulverized vapor, the gas is preonized prior to application of the main voltage pulse to the magnetron cathode (CM) such that it is possible to generate current pulses (IC) whose duration of decline (Td) is less than 5µs after interruption of the main voltage pulse (IT).
