Mechanisms of voltage controlled reactive sputtering and physical properties of reactively sputtered cermet films

This thesis deals with the mechanisms involved in reactively sputtering a metal target in an Inert/reactive gas glow discharge and with the electrical transport and optical properties of A1/A1N granular metal (or cermet) films produced by this technique. Experiments are described in which an A1 targ...
