✦ Synopsis

The formation of ions following the termination of power in a pulsed glow discharge ion source is investigated. The populations of ionized species containing sputtered atoms M(+), M 2 (1) :, and MAr(+) are observed to maximize after the termination of discharge power. Collisions involving sputtered atoms and metastable argon atoms, Penning and associative ionization, are considered to be responsible for the formation of ions in the discharge afterpeak time regime. The domination of these ion formation processes during the afterpeak time regime is supported by the results from investigations of discharge operating parameters, metastable argon atom quenching, and ion kinetic energy distributions.

It is well known that aluminium is quite resistant against aqueous corrosion, but suffers from poor tribological properties. A possible solution is the formation of a hard carbide film or deposition of a film of diamond-like carbon. Plasma-based ion implantation with hydrocarbon gases is a method to
