Hi Could anyone advise me about how to improve adhesion of evaporated gold on InAs? We currently evaporate it from a Mo boat with the substrate at about 150oC....

There are two techniques I have used for improving gold adhesion. Both involve using chromium underlayers. The first is a separate layer of chrome 100-200...
Anthony, I use 20-100 nm Cr then Au on Si substrates. To evaporate the Cr I use a W baskets to sublimate the Cr or I have heard people use Cr plated W rods...
Anthony, NiChrome is better - it gives less stress than Cr. Don ____________________________________ Donald M. Mattox Society of Vacuum Coaters 71 Pinon Hill...

We are depositing a thick Indium 5-10 um over Ti-Au. Our coating is coming out cloudy. I believe it is specular reflection while others believe it is...
We have deposited In by thermal evaporation and sputtering. The cloudiness you observe may be because light is being scattered as in thick Al films (hillocks...

As long as you have good adhesion over the Ti-Au base your clean Indium will stick without and problem. As for the cloudy coating what grade of Indium are you...
Our starting Indium is 4-9's per label. Starting pressure 1E-6 to 8E-7 no change seen due to starting pressure. Dep rate we have tried 15-50A/sec. Our...
Alan, Have you looked at thinner coatings, e.g., less than 1 micron to see if they are shiney? If they are shiney, there is a good chance the cloudiness is ...
Indium, like other metals, will deposit with random orientations of the crystals that form and so some will grow faster than others and thus will shadow the...

Hello All: I am trying to prepare a machine to sputter MgF2. Has anyone in the group successsfully tried using a 40 kHz power supply to sputter Magnesium...
I have some experience testing thermal dots. These materials has a specific melting point that as you know is dependent on pressure. You will not get an...
Dear friend, As you know, MgF2 is insulator, thus 40 kHz is not sufficient to sputter it. Apart of it, you must use asymmetric bipolar pulsed power supply,...
