Abstract

The stabilisation of a planar magnetron sputtering system for reactive sputtering of AlN in a gaseous mixture of Ar and highly active NH3 was examined. The helical instability in the cathode plasma sheath was observed and methods for its damping were proposed. It was found that the deposition of c-axis oriented AlN films at high deposition rates in the range 0.5-3.0 m/h is possible, when the helical instability in the magentron system is damped.
