High power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) is characterized by a very high current density at the target during each pulse. A large fraction of sputtered target material is ionized, which allows the preparation of hard and defect-free coatings. Compared to the conventional sputtering methods, HiPIMS technology possesses a certain drawback, i.e. lower deposition rate. A promising variation, i.e. reactive HiPIMS, was described by a mathematical model (S. Kadlec et al. JAP 121 (2017) 171910). One of the fundamental results shows that reactive HiPIMS can deliver higher deposition rates compared to the mid-frequency pulsed dc magnetron sputtering (Mf-PCDMS) due to a lower degree of target poisoning. To confirm these theoretical results, series of experiments were performed in laboratory deposition system with different target materials (Al, Cr, Ti, Zr, Hf, Ta, Nb). We supported our experimental results by Monte-Carlo simulations performed in SRIM and SDTrimSP simulation software.
