I want to deposit metal oxides like Al2O3 and ZrO2 using rf sputtering. I can't afford expensive vacuum pumps like oil diffusion pump and turbo molecular pump to my sputtering vacuum chamber. I had to go with a simple rotary pump only. I could hardly find any thin film deposition in such a low vacuum conditions however I could achieve plasma with argon gas. Are there any other deposition conditions I should vary so that I could achieve good thin films of at least 20 nm thickness?
