Plasmas produced by high power magnetron sputtering (HPPMS) contain neutral/ionic particles and their emitting/non-emitting particles. The plasma diagnostics using various spectroscopic techniques, which are optical emission spectroscopy (OES) for emitting particles, laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) spectroscopy for non-emitting particles, laser absorption spectroscopy for emitting/non-emitting particles, and mass spectrometry for charged particle, and have been performed for the particles being HPPMS plasma.
In the present study, we developed a plasma diagnostic method for HPPMS using LIF for non-emitting particles in the deposition region to compare with the results obtained by particle analysis using our developing time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS) for sputtered and/or gas ion particles in the deposition region which is corresponding to the ion acceleration region of TOF-MS. In this presentation, we will also report the results of time evolution measurements of LIF in neutral particles produced in HPPMS.
