Abstract

Thin film formation by direct ion beam deposition is described. The advantages of the low energy ion beam deposition method are discussed together with limitations of this method. The description of a prototype ion beam deposition system and lead and magnesium ion beam deposition using this system are given in detail. The lead and magnesium deposits are characterized by Rutherford backscattering analysis and electron microscopy. The most important advantage of the low energy ion beam deposition method is the precise controllability of deposition parameters.
