Abstract
Magnesium fluoride thin films deposited by vacuum evaporation have been used for optical films such as anti-reflection coatings because of their low refractive index (n=1.38) and durability when condensed on heated substrates. In recent years, the demand for optical thin films by sputtering is increasing because of its advantages over vacuum evaporation in factory automation, and applicability to substrates at room temperature.
