△ [7p-A402-13] In-situ monitoring of SiOx film deposition rate in reactive sputtering
Keywords:sputtering, optical thin film
Transition mode deposition is widely used for high-rate compound deposition in reactive sputtering. To improve accuracy of thicknesses of deposited films, in-situ film deposition rate monitoring is important. We experimentally study monitoring methods using plasma emission spectroscopy (PEM) and plasma absorption spectroscopy. We also discuss the relation between the deposition rate and a sputtered particle density in the plasma.
