`
`SUBSTRATE BIASING
`
`The ability to apply bias to a substrate provides a variety of
`benefits to a physical vapor deposition process. Applying a bias in
`the presence of a partial pressure of gas creates a localized
`plasma at the surface of the substrate. Prior to deposition, this
`plasma can be used to pre-clean, oxidize, or gently etch a
`substrate in preparation for the soon to be deposited film. During
`deposition, this plasma can provide gentle ion bombardment to
`improve film density, adhesion, and material reactivity.

`
`Depending on the substrate and deposition material, either DC or
`
`RF power can be used to provide the bias. For non—conductive
`
`substrates, we recommend an RF bias which is available as
`
`standard on all of our deposition stages.
