Abstract

The ion beam assisted deposition (IBAD) technique has been employed to make aluminum oxide optical coatings. Deposition variables include aluminum oxide evaporant to oxygen ion beam flux ratios, substrate temperature, and ion energy. Characterization included optical ellipsometry, ion beam analysis, and adhesion tests. Films deposited with the aid of ions exhibited the highest refractive indices and best adhesion to their substrates.
