Dear Mr. Brent, Thanks for reply, hope the details furnished below is enough for your analysis Power Supply :: PULSED DC POWER SUPPLY, Operating at 60 kHz( avl range 50 to 100 ) Power during deposition :: 12 kW ( operating at Power mode ) vacuum @ chamber during sputtering :: In the range of 2.0 E-03 torr Substrate :: PC ( polycarbonate based plastic ) coated with UV curable paint( Base coat ) We use oil diffusion pumps with Polycold system Regards, Nataraj Santhanam -----Original Message----- From: Brent Garber [mailto:garber@engr.uconn.edu] Sent: Monday, May 19, 2008 10:40 PM To: nataraj@precico.com.my; General MEMS discussion Subject: Re: [mems-talk] HELP REQUIRED IN AREA OF ALUMINUM SPUTTERING Nataraj, You will need to provide a little more information as how you are depositing the aluminum for anyone to help you. If you are using DC sputtering, I have found the faster the rate the better. Brent
