Abstract

A triode ion plating system with a hot cathode has been described. The performance of the system is studied, by studying the discharge behaviour from the bias voltage and bias current point of view, at the substrate, for different anode currents, filament voltages and pressures. The observed substrate bias current for different operating parameters is not found to be normal. The behaviour is explained on the bias of ionisation at the respective electrodes. The studies have revealed the importance of inter-electrode spacing in the enhancement of ionisation, in ion plating systems, at lower pressures.
