Abstract: Cu films with thickness of 630-1300nm were deposited on glass substrates withoutheating by DC magnetron sputtering in pure Ar gas. Ar pressure was controlled to0.5, 1.0 and 1.5Pa respectively. The target voltage was fixed at 500V but the targetcurrent increased from 200 to 1150mA with Ar pressure increasing. X-ray diffrac-tion, scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy were used to observethe structural characterization of the films. The resistivity of the films was measuredusing four-point probe technique. At all the Ar pressures, the Cu films have mixturecrystalline orientations of [111], [200] and [220] in the direction of the film growth.The film deposited at lower pressure shows more [111] orientation while that depositedat higher pressure has more [220] orientation. The amount of larger grains in the filmprepared at 0.5Pa Ar pressure is slightly less than that prepared at 1. 0Pa and 1.5PaAr pressures. The resistivities of the films prepared at three different Ar pressures rep-resent few differences, about 3-4 times of that of bulk material. Besides the depositionrate increases with Ar pressure because of the increase in target current. The contri-bution of the bombardment of energetic reflected Argon atoms to these phenomena isdiscussed.
