Abstract
The magnetron discharge with hot (uncooled) target in an impulse mode has been experimentally investigated. The I–V characteristics have been measured depending on the magnetic field strength for three target materials: copper, chromium, and silicon. For melted copper and hot chromium targets, stable gasless (no argon) operation of the magnetron has been demonstrated with maximum impulse power densities about 2.5 kW/cm2 (averaged over the racetrack area). For silicon target, maximum impulse power density was 1.5 kW/cm2 at low argon pressure (0.1 Pa). The magnetic field dependences of discharge parameters have shown the associated changes in differential plasma impedance.
