HIGH RATE SPUTTERING OF EXHAUST OXYGEN SENSOR ELECTRODE Abstract of the Disclosure: A method of sputtering a platinum exhaust gas electrode onto a vitrified zirconia thimble for an electrochemical-type exhaust gas oxygen sensor. Porous high surface area films are consistently deposited at high rates. A DC magnetron cathode assembly having a magnetic field strength of at least 500 gauss across its target face is used at a sputtering power of about 4 - 9 kilowatts. A thimble-target spacing of less than about 3.0 cm, a pressure less than about 10 millitorr, a sputtering atmosphere consisting essentially of more than about 50 percent nitrogen and/or oxygen, an electrically isolated deposition surface, and an electrically floating reference electrode precoated on the zirconia thimble surface are used.
