Plasma and Coatings Physics
The Plasma & Coatings Physics group is a division at the Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology (IFM), Linköping University, Sweden. Our overall goal is to contribute towards addressing challenges of contemporary materials science and technology through the synthesis of novel films and nanomaterials.
Research highlights
HiPIMS: Reactive sputter control
We have developed a new method for fast feed-back control in reactive HiPIMS. By using a constant voltage pulse and measuring the achieved current maximum, the power can be adjusted (through the repetition frequency) that a stoichiometric film is produced.
High ionization degree of carbon
A strategy that facilitates a substantial increase of carbon ionization in magnetron sputtering discharges is presented. It is based on increasing the electron temperature in a high power impulse magnetron sputtering discharge by using Neon as the sputtering gas.
