The Effect of Charged Ag Nanoparticles on Thin Film Growth during DC Magnetron Sputtering

The possibility that charged nanoparticles (CNPs) are generated in the gas phase during direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering of Ag is studied. Sputtered Ag particles could be captured on an ultrathin amorphous carbon membrane for transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observation. It is confirme...
