Study of improvement of cathode vacuum arc stability by second anode action

Huixing Zhang

Abstract

The effect of second anode action on the cathode vacuum arc discharge stability in the cathode arc deposition technology is studied.The results show that the second anode action can increase arc unstable threshold of the focusing magnetic field due to the increase of the arc discharge scale and the decrease of the plasma resistor.
