Effect of Mo-Cu Cathode Composition on Plasma Generation in DC Arc Synthesis
Courtesy of Hiden Analytical Ltd.
Mo-Cu is a promising two-element material mixture, which combines the low thermal expansion coefficient of molybdenum with the excellent thermal/electrical conductivity of copper. This mixture can find an application in a thin-film form as a base-plate material for electronic microchips/systems requiring high heat dissipation rates combined with a minimal change in geometry upon heating/cooling. A widely used method for material synthesis in thin-film form is vacuum-arc evaporation. There are, however, still almost no reports on arc-plasma generation from Mo-Cu cathodes. Therefore, we studied a correlation between cathode composition and features of the DC arcing process for eight Mo-Cu cathodes with different relative amounts of Cu. It was found that the properties of the generated plasma are strongly dependent on the relative ratio of the cathode elements.
