  • Abstract
    This paper introduces a Faraday-cup system used to measure the ion energy in vacuum arc deposition. The pressure and current dependence of the ion energy, as well as its angular distribution are presented. Further, the combined ion parameter Ep is investigated. Under the condition of 100 A, 0.66 Pa, -100 V, the typical maximum ion energy is 75 eV, the value of Ep is 828 eV/atom
