    摘要: The invention is a method for obtaining a reactive sputtering process with a reduced or eliminated hysteresis behavior. This is achieved by employing a target made from a mixture of metal and compound materials. In the method according to the present invention, the fraction of compound material is large enough to eliminate or significantly reduce the hysteresis behavior of the reactive sputtering process and enable a stable deposition of compound films at a rate significantly higher than what is possible from a target completely made from compound material.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for generation of a discharge in own vapors of a radio frequency electrode for sustained self-sputtering and evaporation comprising the steps of: (a) generation of a radio frequency discharge by a radio frequency electrode of a hollow geometry in an auxiliary gas introduced into the discharge area at a pressure necessary for an initiation of a hollow cathode discharge inside the hollow electrode causing sputtering and/or evaporation of the electrode surface; (b) increasing the radio frequency power to said hollow electrode to enhance density of vapors containing particles released from the electrode by the sputtering and/or evaporation in the radio frequency generated hollow cathode discharge up to a density at which a self-sustained discharge remains after the inflow of said auxiliary gas is closed and the pumping of gas is adjusted to a value necessary for the maintenance of the discharge. The hollow radio frequency electrode may serve as an inlet of said auxiliary gas. ##STR1##
