Tóm tắt

The homogeneity of metal plasma immersion ion implantation and deposition (MePIIID) was investigated for flat substrates and the materials systems Al, AlN, Ti, TiN, TiO/sub 2/, and ZnO. An influence of pulse voltage, cathode material and backfill on the lateral homogeneity was observed, so that the plasma stream emanating from the arc as well as the plasma sheath evolving around the substrates contribute to the radial homogeneity in MePIIID.
