Zusammenfassung:Based on investigations on the reactive deposition of oxides and nitrides a review is given of the most important process parameters of reactive d.c. high rate sputtering. Knowledge of the possibilities to ensure a stable and reproducible regime is essential for the use of reactive d.c. plasmatron sputtering. Technical solutions are presented that use the principles of plasma emission spectroscopy. Also dealt with are oxides of CrSi and aluminium for use as wear-resistant coatings because they can be deposited in a self-stabilizing regime. Of particular interest is the production of TiN x layers for various applications, especially to enhance the lifetime or productivity of cutting tools made from high speed steel. Hence the relationship between the process parameters and the properties of these coatings is outlined in more detail.
