uniform baking temperature and better baking, we cover the main chamber and thechamber that you want to use with aluminum foils. The vacuum gauge can not becovered. And then, we set the temperature <strong>of</strong> baking and the time <strong>of</strong> baking.It should be sure that thermocouples are connected to their own zones and heatonly the chambers that you are pumping, and we should not set T>120℃ if you havemounted windows, magnetrons and viton o-rings. The cooling water should be givenbefore the baking start for the protection <strong>of</strong> the permanent magnet. When the baking isfinished, we wait for the natural cooling <strong>of</strong> the system till it near the room temperature.From the cooling curve <strong>of</strong> Fig.2.15, the pressure decrease with the temperaturedecreasing.2.2 Nb thin film on sapphireIn order to research the performance <strong>of</strong> the thin film and the parameters <strong>of</strong><strong>sputtering</strong>, the Nb thin film on sapphire should be first researched.2.2.1 Sputtering configurationFig.2.16 The assembly <strong>of</strong> the Nb magnetronThe <strong>sputtering</strong> is proceeded by a 2 inch <strong>of</strong> magnetron, which <strong>of</strong> component isshown as Fig.2.16. The magnetron is mounted with a new copper gasket from thebottom <strong>of</strong> the <strong>sputtering</strong> chamber after cleaning with acetone and alcohol. A flangewith glass window is mounted from the top <strong>of</strong> the chamber.26
