Abstract

Copper oxide films were deposited on silicon substrates by direct current magnetron sputtering of Cu in a mixture of O2 and Ar gases. Oxidation of the target as a result of adsorption or ion-plating of the reactive gases directly affects the discharge current and composition of the deposited films. We propose a kinetic model that relates the target oxidation to the discharge current, showing a one-to-one relationship between the discharge current characteristics and composition of the deposited films.
