Abstract
By applying medium frequency (MF) powered twin magnetron arrangements, typi cal problems of reactive direct current (DC) sputter deposition of electric ally insulating materials can be solved. Inherent properties of this new de position method are a high ion bombardment of the substrate during depositi on and the possibility to deposit transparent layers in the transition mode of the cathode characteristic. This leads to modified film properties comp ared to the DC method. This is shown here for the case of SnO2. (C) 1999 El sevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
