Delayed discharges due to electrical breakdown are observed in modulated pulsed pow er magnetron sputtering (MPPMS) plasma of titanium. The delayed discharge, which is remarkable with decreasing argon gas pressure, transforms the discharge current waveform from a standard modulated pulsed discharge current waveform to a comb-like discharge current waveform consisting of several pulses with high power. In addition, the delay times, consisting of statistical times and formative times in the delayed MPPMS discharges, are experimentally measured with the help of Laue plot analysis. The pressure dependence of delay times observed indicates that the delayed discharge behavior matches the breakdown characteristics well. In the present study, the delayed discharge dynamics of the comb-like discharge current waveform, which can be the origin of deep oscillation magnetron sputtering, are investigated based on measurement of the delay times and the characteristics of discharge current waveforms.

A newly designed current generator for use with a quarter-wave spark source for a fundamental spectroscopic study of spark discharge chemistry is described. The generator outputs a trapezoidal discharge current waveform whose duration and amplitude are adjustable independently of the source repetition rate up to 5 μsec and 30 A, respectively. A multi-π section LC ladder network and a fast SCR are combined for the new generator to produce the adjustable discharge current waveform, in place of a single RC filter for a conventional current generator. The LC network functions as a current width stretcher and the SCR shapes the pulse into the desired duration by shunt clipping the tail. To evaluate the performance of the new current generator, transient emission waveforms of Cu lines are compared for a trapezoidal current waveform and a simple relaxation discharge waveform with that generated from the conventional generator.
