摘要

External magnetic fields are used extensively to steer the cathode spot of arc discharges in order to improve target utilization and minimize droplet generation. Optical emission spectroscopy and electrostatic probe measurements were used to characterize the effect of the external magnetic field on the ion flux and plasma composition. The shape and strength of the magnetic field on the cathode surface was varied by a combination of a permanent magnet array and an electromagnetic coil positioned concentrically in the planar rectangular geometry. The field strengths measured with a Hall probe were in the range of up to 15 mT. It was found that the magnetic field strongly influenced the emission from Cr~0 metal neutral species while this effect was weaker for Cr~(2+) and Cr~(1+) emission, indicating that the ion to neutral ratio was affected appreciably. The total ion saturation current density, measured by a flat electrostatic probe, was influenced strongly with values increasing from 2 to 12 mAcm~(-2), depending on the particular shape and strength of the magnetic field. Time resolved measurements of a particular position on the arc cathode revealed that an Ar plasma is trapped near the cathode and is sustained without the presence of the cathode spot.
