โœฆ Synopsis


Aluminum nitride (AlN) thin films have been deposited on Si(1 1 1) substrates by using reactive-rf-magnetron-sputtering at 250 ยฐC. The crystalline quality and orientation of the films have been studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD). We have observed that the films grow with c-or a-axis orientation. The composition, film thickness, impurities and stress are considered to be factors affecting the orientation and have been analyzed by Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS), nuclear reaction analysis (NRA) and XRD. Their effects on the film growth will be discussed. Surface morphology of the films will be also presented.

Ultrahigh-vacuum dual-target reactive magnetron sputtering, in a mixed Ar/N 2 discharge was used to deposit epitaxial single-crystal MAX phase Ti 2 AlN(0 0 0 1) thin films, without seed layers, onto Al 2 O 3 (0 0 0 1) substrates kept at 1050 ยฐC.
