A new deposition technology has been developed, based on a cathodic arc system working under UHV conditions, to produce metallic thin films. The technique presents several advantages compared to standard sputtering, mainly: ionized state of the evaporated material, absence of gases to sustain the discharge, higher energy of atoms reaching the substrate surface, possibility to apply bias to the substrate and to guide the arc plasma using magnetic fields. Recent results on superconducting Niobium films deposited under several conditions and on sapphire substrate are reported. A cavity deposition system has been developed and the plasma transport to the cavity cell studied

The cathodic arc technology has been used for various technical purposes for many years. Recently, it has been demonstrated that the cathodic arc can be operated under ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions and it might solve the problem of the oxygen contamination coming from water remnants. It opens a new road to many applications where very pure metallic and/or superconducting films are needed. The paper reports on recent experimental studies aimed on the deposition of superconducting films of pure lead (Pb) by means of the UHV cathodic arc. Such layers can be used as photo-cathodes needed for modern accelerator injectors. The system configuration, used for thin film deposition inside the RF Gun designed at DESY, is also described and the main results and characteristics of thin superconducting Pb-films are presented.
