Presentation / Conference
Karthikeyan, S., Hill, A., & Pilkington, R. (2010, November). The effect of oxygen on the properties of pulsed d.c magnetron sputtered In2O3 films. Presented at 1st CSE Doctoral School Postgraduate Research Conference, University of Salford, Salford

Thin films that have high transparency and conductivity are used in various applications such as displays, solar cells, electrochromic devices and heatable glasses (Granqvist and Hultåker, 2002;1-5). This present work describes the deposition of tra... Read More about The effect of oxygen on the properties of pulsed d.c magnetron sputtered In2O3 films.

This paper describes the breakdown voltage characteristics in a pulsed D.C. magnetron sputtering system under varying conditions of frequency, current and pulse-off time. The behaviour of the breakdown voltage with pulsing frequency at different pres... Read More about The influence of operating parameters on pulsed D.C. magnetron sputtering plasma.

Properties of CuInSe2 and Mo thin films produced by pulsed d.c magnetron sputtering for solar cell fabrication (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Karthikeyan, S., Hill, A., Cowpe, J., & Pilkington, R. (2010, August). Properties of CuInSe2 and Mo thin films produced by pulsed d.c magnetron sputtering for solar cell fabrication. Poster presented at Photon 10, Southampton

Copper indium diselenide (CIS) is one of the most promising semiconducting thin film materials used in the solar cell industry. A typical CIS based solar cell comprises a Mo/CuInSe2/CdS/i-ZnO/ZnO heterojunction. This work describes the use of pulsed...

Paschen curve analysis to optimise pulsed d.c. sputtering plasmas (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Karthikeyan, S., Hill, A., Pilkington, R., & Cowpe, J. (2010, March). Paschen curve analysis to optimise pulsed d.c. sputtering plasmas. Poster presented at 37th IoP Conference on Plasma Physics, Windermere

The behaviour of the breakdown voltage of a pulsed d.c. magnetron sputtering system under various operating conditions has been studied with reference to Paschen’s Law. This can help to understand the conditions necessary for a stable breakdown at lo... Read More about Paschen curve analysis to optimise pulsed d.c. sputtering plasmas.
