An ignition cable having a layer of semi-conductive cross-linkable polyolefin extruded over a nonmetallic strength member to form a conductive core. An insulating layer is extruded over the conductive core and overlaid with a braid of glass yarn. A final layer of insulating material is applied over the braid of glass yarn to provide an external jacket. In an alternate embodiment, the braid of glass yarn is omitted.

A physical vapor deposition reactor includes a metal sputter target, a D.C. sputter power source coupled to the metal sputter target and a wafer support pedestal facing the metal sputter target. A movable magnet array is adjacent a side of the metal sputter target opposite the wafer support pedestal. A solid metal RF feed rod engages the metal sputter target and extends from a surface of the target on a side opposite the wafer support pedestal. A VHF impedance match circuit is coupled to an end of the RF feed rod opposite the metal sputter target and a VHF RF power generator coupled to said VHF impedance match circuit. Preferably, the reactor of further includes a center axle about which the movable magnet array is rotatable, the center axle having an axially extending hollow passageway, the RF feed rod extending through the passageway.

A method and apparatus for forming an electrochemical layer of a thin film battery is provided. A precursor mixture comprising electrochemically active precursor particles dispersed in a carrying medium is provided to a processing chamber and thermally treated using a combustible gas mixture also provided to the chamber. The precursor is converted to nanocrystals by the thermal energy, and the nanocrystals are deposited on a substrate. A second precursor may be blended with the nanocrystals as they deposit on the surface to enhance adhesion and conductivity.

In a plasma enhanced physical vapor deposition of a material onto workpiece, a metal target faces the workpiece across a target-to-workpiece gap less than a diameter of the workpiece. A carrier gas is introduced into the chamber and gas pressure in the chamber is maintained above a threshold pressure at which mean free path is less than 5% of the gap. RF plasma source power from a VHF generator is applied to the target to generate a capacitively coupled plasma at the target, the VHF generator having a frequency exceeding 30 MHz. The plasma is extended across the gap to the workpiece by providing through the workpiece a first VHF ground return path at the frequency of the VHF generator.

A method of performing physical vapor deposition of copper onto an integrated circuit in a vacuum chamber of a plasma reactor, includes providing a copper target near a ceiling of the chamber, placing an integrated circuit wafer on a wafer support pedestal facing the target, introducing a carrier gas into the vacuum chamber, and establishing a deposition rate on the wafer by applying D.C. power to the copper target while establishing a plasma ionization fraction by applying VHF power to the copper target. The method can further include promoting re-sputtering of copper on vertical surfaces on the wafer by coupling HF or LF power to the wafer. The method preferably includes maintaining a target magnetic field at the target and scanning the target magnetic field across the target.
