Abstract

See full text

A method for establishing and maintaining a reliable ground for reactive sputtering systems. A spatially extended high density plasma is generated in a large region surrounding the sputtering target. The plasma electrically connects the target to a part of the coating machine that is not subject to deposition of sputtered material from the target. The plasma is generated by an applicator which is independent of the target.
