Rare gas-oxygen effects on the rf sputter deposition of platinum

Abstract
Thin Pt films were sputter deposited on Si substrates using Ar and Ne rf glow discharges containing 0%–6% O2. Significant differences in electrical resistivity, crystallography, and Pt suboxide formation were found to depend upon the type of rare gas used for a given nominal O2 partial pressure. Several reasons for this behavior are proposed.
