FEATURES OF FORMATION OF THIN SILICON COATINGS DEPOSITED BY MAGNETRON SPUTTERING
Abstract
The surface morphology and optical properties of Si coatings formed by magnetron sputtering were studied using atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and spectrophotometry methods. The possibility to influence the surface morphology of coating (filamentous structures and/or round holes) and the location of maxima and minima in reflectance and transmittance via a controllable variation of magnetron sputtering regimes (substrate temperature and bias potential) is shown.
