Abstract

Plasma emission spectra resulting from rf sputtering Y-Ba-Cu-O targets were observed as a function of time using an optical multichannel analyser. Although most lines of the observed spectra are not attributable to target species, peaks associated with each cation element were resolved. The Ba and Cu peaks can be used as tracking indicators of process conditions. For example, switching from an O2/Ar sputter atmosphere to pure Ar enhanced the Ba peak more than those associated with CuO. The emission spectra from a newly fabricated target exhibited a first-order transient response in seeking equilibrium with the rf plasma. The transient response of a previously sputtered target is also first-order but with a shorter time constant.
