  • Abstract
    The deposition of an insulating layer upon an aluminum plate in an argon plasma is described. The process is effected in a low-power DC discharge to which a small amount of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) has been added, causing the formation of anode spots at sharp metallic surfaces. The insulator is deposited in the region beneath the spot
