Abstract
A low-voltage/high-current vacuum arc offers a means of producing high-current ion beams. These beams can be employed in conjunction with suitable anode and sputter target configurations to permit coating production by self-sputtering without the necessity for adding process gas. This paper describes the influence of sputtering angle and target voltage on coating rate and morphology.Keywords
