Mike Plaisted has some good thoughts. Silicon sputters pretty easily DC when doped - unless you are doing some sort of reactive gas inlet while sputtering. O2 will eventually form a dielectric layer over the entire Si target and choke off the plasma. Certainly in that instance a pulsed DC power supply (expensive!) will cut the aggravation down a bit.
