The Target Material Influence on the Current Pulse during High Power Pulsed Magnetron Sputtering

The current-time characteristic during high power pulsed magnetron sputtering is measured under identical conditions for seventeen different target materials. Based on physical processes such as gas rarefaction, ion-induced electron emission, and electron impact ionization, two test parameters were...
