Abstract:
A double hollow cathode ion source can produce a high amount and high current density of metal ions (Mo) by using a new sputtering discharge mode of hollow cathode discharge. It is evident that the new sputtering discharge mode occurs under suitable conditions of the diameter of the second hollow cathode and the magnetic field. At a sputter voltage of 600 V and magnetic field of 1.0 kG, the metal ion beam ratio of reaches 50%.
