we report the successful demonstration of a hybrid system that combines pulsed laser deposition (pld) and magnetron sputtering (ms) to deposit high quality thin films. the pld and ms simultaneously use the same target, leading to an enhanced deposition rate. the performance of this technique is demonstrated through the deposition of titanium dioxide and bismuth-based perovskite oxide bi2fecro6 (bfco) thin films on si(100) and laalo3 (lao) (100). these specific oxides were chosen due to their functionalities, such as multiferroic and photovoltaic properties (bfco) and photocatalysis (tio2). we compare films deposited by conventional pld, ms and pld combined with ms, and show that under all conditions the latter technique offers an increased deposition rate (+50%) and produces films denser (+20%) than those produced by ms or pld alone, and without the large clusters found in the pld-deposited films. under optimized conditions, the hybrid technique produces films that are two times smoother than either technique alone.

magnetron sputtering is a very versatile technique extensively employed for the deposition/growth of thin films. however, the deposition of desirable magnetic films is one of the challenges confronting magnetron sputtering owing to the shunting of magnetic flux by magnetic targets in conventional magnetron sputtering equipment. this flux shunting culminates in lower plasma density, non-uniform plasma confinement, and uneven erosion of magnetic targets, adversely affecting the growing films’ thickness uniformity and chemical homogeneity—the latter can be particularly serious in magnetron co-sputtering. in this article, it is discussed that these issues can be avoided by cylindrical sputtering. as for planar sputtering, formerly offered technical solutions including the utilization of thin foils as magnetic targets, the deployment of gapped targets somewhat allowing the magnetic flux of the magnetron assembly, the employment of a target heating system increasing a magnetic target’s temperature greater than or equal to its curie temperature, facing target sputtering, magnetron sputtering assisted by coupled plasma inductively generated in an internal coil, and the generation of plasma remotely from magnetic targets (i.e., high target utilization sputtering) are scrutinized with their advantages/disadvantages being further examined. finally, it is discussed that not only can auxiliary grid deployment mitigate/remove the issues of planar magnetron sputtering by modifying spatial plasma density distribution near the target but also it can solely shoulder the responsibility of ionization enhancement and plasma confinement for deposition of magnetic films.

a hybrid magnetron sputtering process (dcms/hipims) was developed to manufacture nanostructured crn/cr1-xalxn multilayers, motivated by improving the low-emission efficiency when applied on gas-nitrided diesel piston rings of a next-generation of combustion engines. in order to improve the mechanical, tribological, and corrosion behavior of the multilayers, the hybrid dcms/hipims process was designed by selecting the optimal sputtering procedure applied to aisi 440 base steel. the effect of substrate bias and carousel rotational speed on the phase composition, crystallographic texture, residual stresses, surface roughness, coating periodicity and densification, instrumented hardness, elastic modulus, as well as wear and corrosion resistance was determined. the results have demonstrated that hybrid magnetron sputtering produces multilayers with a superlattice structure, which outperforms commercial pvd coatings of crn for diesel piston rings manufactured by cathodic arc evaporation. also, multilayer periodicities in the range of 5 to 10 nm yield the best tribological performance under bench tests for the piston ring/cylinder liner system.
