The surface of the Al target was changed from the metallic mode to the oxide mode at a critical O2 flow ratio of 8%. The atomic ratio of sputtered Al atoms to supplied oxygen atoms was found to be approximately 2:3 at the critical O2 flow ratio. The oxide layer thickness formed on the Al target was estimated to be 5?7 nm at an O2 flow ratio of 100% by ellipsometry.}, pages = {483--485}, title = {Formation process of Al2O3 thin films by reactive sputtering}, volume = {83}, year = {2008} }
