RE: What could be wafer surface temperature during
sputterdeposition w/ Al depos

It depends on the type of system - cathode size for power density, pressure,
target-substrate spacing. If it was a standard type system (Applied, Veeco,
Trikon, etc.) then the target would be approx 12" in diameter or so, and if the
pressure was around 2 to 4 mT then the rate is probably just over 1um per
minute (i would guess 1.2ums/min) - the temperature is most likely reaching over
170C with no aided cooling, maybe 230 or so - increasing the pressure would
bring it down but at those rates I would expect it to get pretty warm.

Could anybody comment what could be the wafer surface temperature during
following sputter deposition?
Al deposition, 10000W, 150sccm Ar flow, 12min deposition time
Any comments should be appreciated. Regards,
