The sensitivity of Plasma Emission Monitoring (PEM) depends on both target material and oxygen mass flow at least for indium and tin target. Optical emission intensity and cathode voltage were recorded for several argon and oxygen flows in various tin and indium oxide thin film fabrication experiments, with the magnetron working in constant current mode. The results obtained indicate marked differences between indium and tin targets, as far as their reactive sputtering behaviour is concerned. A theoretical explanation is proposed for the observed target voltage variations with increasing oxygen mass flow in relation to the corresponding optical emission intensities. © 1994. (EN)
