Popis: The indirectly reactive sputtering via radical source (ISR) system, which is a method to make an oxide film by repeating the separated deposition and oxidation using a d.c. pulse sputtering and an oxygen radical-rich source, was developed to deposit stoichiometric dielectric films with a relatively high deposition rate of about 0.4 nm/s. Under optimal deposition conditions, SiO2, Ta2O5, Nb2O5 films showed dense microstructures with high refractive indices and low optical absorption. The edge filter stacked by such dense film layers was wavelength shiftless.
