Deposition of gold on PET film by pulsed DC magnetron sputtering

Abstract

Pulsed DC magnetron sputtering (frequency of 100 kHz) was employed to deposit gold onto polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film. The optical properties and
thickness distribution of the gold coating, deposited from a circular sputtering target, were evaluated through reflectance and transmittance measurements
using a Jasco V-770 spectrophotometer...
