← ScienceWhich consequence results when sputtering target's magnetic field weakens?
A)Reduced plasma ionization efficiency occurs✓
B)Increased substrate film contamination appears
C)Elevated background gas pressure develops
D)Compromised cathode electron temperature results
💡 Explanation
Weakening the magnetic field reduces electron confinement near the target; therefore, reduced plasma ionization efficiency occurs because fewer ions are generated to bombard the target and maintain the sputtering process, rather than increasing contaminant incorporation.
