Hi all, I am trying to sputter thick Cu ( 1 um) in a DC sputtering system.my sputtering conditions are as follows :- base pr- 10 exp(-6) torr chamber pr -10 m torr Ar gas flow - 10 sccm. power - 250 W Target to substrate distance - 5 cm. my problem is that the resistivity of my deposited Cu is very high (24 micro ohm cm) which is about 15 times the bulk resistivity of Cu( 1.6 micro ohm cm). does anybody any any experience with deposition of thick Cu with low resistivity values.pls let me know. Thanks in advance, Dipankar OFFICE ADDRESS :- MATERIALS RESEARCH CENTER, ROOM 322 , RB-1, 1001 CAPABILITY DRIVE, CENTENNIAL CAMPUS, NCSU, RALEIGH , NC 27695-7919 USA PH- 919 515 5049 FAX- 919 515 3419 ____________________________________________________________ Find what you are looking for with the Lycos Yellow Pages http://r.lycos.com/r/yp_emailfooter/http://yellowpages.lycos.com/default.asp?SRC =lycos10
