Abstract:A planar‐magnetron system is used for dc reactive sputtering of Al in O2 + Ar atmosphere. It is shown that the electrophysical properties of so produced alumina (Al2O3) layers depend on the gas ratio mainly. By studying the index of refraction, the dielectric constant, the resistivity, the breakdown field, and the C–V characteristics it is found that the most stoichiometric layers are obtained at a partial pressure ratio, Po2/ArP, in the range of 0.45 to 0.65. The MAS structures show good interface properties … Show more
