Amorphous tantala ( ${T a}_{2} O_{5}$ ) thin films were deposited by reactive ion beam sputtering with simultaneous low energy assist ${A r}^{+}$ or ${A r}^{+} / O_{2}^{+}$ bombardment. Under the conditions of the experiment, the as-deposited thin films are amorphous and stoichiometric. The refractive index and optical band gap of thin films remain unchanged by ion bombardment. Around 20% improvement in room temperature mechanical loss and 60% decrease in absorption loss are found in samples bombarded with 100-eV ${A r}^{+}$ . A detrimental influence from low energy $O_{2}^{+}$ bombardment on absorption loss and mechanical loss is observed. Low energy ${A r}^{+}$ bombardment removes excess oxygen point defects, while $O_{2}^{+}$ bombardment introduces defects into the tantala films.
