Abstract:
In accordance with the present invention, deposition of LiCoO 2  layers in a pulsed-dc physical vapor deposition process is presented. Such a deposition can provide a low-temperature, high deposition rate deposition of a crystalline layer of LiCoO 2  with a desired <101> or <003> orientation. Some embodiments of the deposition address the need for high rate deposition of LiCoO 2  films, which can be utilized as the cathode layer in a solid state rechargeable Li battery, Embodiments of the process according to the present invention can eliminate the high temperature (>700° C.) anneal step that is conventionally needed to crystallize the LiCoO 2  layer.

Claim (Index 52):
The method of  claim 47 , wherein depositing the crystalline LiCoO.sub.2 layer includes: flowing a gaseous mixture including argon and oxygen through a chamber for depositing the crystalline LiCoO.sub.2; applying the pulsed DC power to the densified conductive ceramic LiCoO.sub.2 sputter target; applying an RF bias power to the substrate; filtering the RF bias power with a narrow-band rejection filter from coupling into the pulsed DC power; and depositing the crystalline LiCoO.sub.2 layer having the columnar structure, wherein the densified conductive ceramic LiCoO.sub.2 sputter target has a resistivity in a range from about 3 k.OMEGA, to about 10 k.OMEGA.
