Abstract: | Beneficial effects of increased low energy ion bombardment during physical vapor deposition of ceramic thin films and coatings have been amply documented recently. We have constructed a small laboratory scale high density inductively coupled plasma (ICP) assisted magnetron sputtering system. Such a system offers higher plasma densities as compared to conventional magnetron sputtering. We describe the synthesis of titanium nitride coatings at relatively low temperatures by ICP assisted reactive magnetron sputter deposition. |
