Özet

The thermionic vacuum arc (TVA) is a new technique for the deposition of thin metallic and nonmetallic films. TVA discharge is established in vacuum between a heated cathode (a tungsten filament) and an anode (a tungsten crucible filled with Al2Opellets). TVA discharges in Al2Ovapors were generated and thin Al2Ofilms were deposited on the glass substrates using TVA. The surfaces of thin Al2Ofilms were examined using a Metallurgical Optical Microscope (MOM) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Al2Othin films have been analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) method.
