The article reports on the effect of the addition of copper in the Al(2)O(3) film on its mechanical and optical properties. The Al-Cu-O films were reactively co-sputtered using DC pulse dual magnetron in a mixture of Ar + O(2). One magnetron was equipped with a pure Al target and the second magnetron with a composed Al/Cu target. The amount of Al and Cu in the Al-Cu-O film was controlled by the length of pulse at the Al/Cu target. The Al-Cu-O films with = 3 at.% Cu exhibit (i) relatively high hardness H increasing from similar to 15 GPa to similar to 20 GPa, (ii) enhanced elastic recovery W(e) increasing from similar to 67% to similar to 76% with increasing Cu content from similar to 5 to similar to 16 at.% Cu and (iii) low values of Young's modulus E* satisfying the ratio H/E* >0.1 at >= 5 at.% Cu, and (3) highly elastic Al-Cu-O films with H/E* >0.1 exhibit enhanced resistance to cracking during indentation under high load.
