Direct Current sputtering, also known as DC sputtering, a subclass of diode sputtering, is a common method used to deposit thin films of conductive materials. Applying a DC voltage between the cathode and anode in a vacuum chamber results in the formation of energetic plasma ions, bombarding the target material on the cathode and ejecting its atoms, which are then deposited on the substrate.

[vc_row][vc_column width="3/4"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=""] Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) Conventional transmission electron microscopy (TEM) utilises a beam of electrons interacting with a thin specimen. The scattered electrons transmitted through the sample are subsequently collected to form an image revealing its structure. Transmission electron microscopes are consistently developed to overcome challenges and enhance the image resolution below 1 nm and magnification of up to 1,000,000x, creating various modes for extensive applications, such as high-resolution imaging of micro-nano structures, crystalline phase orientations, and elemental analysis. Moreover, achieving high-quality, accurate results for electron microscopy, specifically TEM, requires considerations in sample preparation steps prior to the analysis. This article is intended to shed light on the transmission electron microscopy basics, components, modes, as well as its applications, advantages, and challenges.

[vc_row][vc_column width="3/4"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width="1/2"][vc_column_text css=""] What Is Magnetron Sputtering? Magnetron sputtering is a subcategory of sputtering deposition in which a magnetron cathode is used to enhance ion-target collisions, thereby intensifying the sputtering and deposition rates. The merits of magnetron sputter deposition over conventional sputter deposition have made magnetron cathodes a vital part of a typical sputtering system.

[vc_row][vc_column width="3/4"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width="1/2"][vc_column_text css=""] Deposition of Reactive Materials Thin films of reactive materials should be deposited in a highly controlled environment to prevent contaminating the resulting layer and achieve a pure coating with the required properties. Some deposition source materials are highly resistant to forming compounds with other materials, which are called noble metals like gold. In contrast, others can be very sensitive to the deposition chamber environment. Here, we will discuss more details on the deposition of reactive materials and the keys to obtain a clean coating.
