P. Panjan et al., STRUCTURAL-ANALYSIS OF ZR-N AND TI-N FILMS PREPARED BY REACTIVE PLASMA BEAM DEPOSITION, Thin solid films, 228(1-2), 1993, pp. 233-237
The effect of composition of Zr-N and Ti-N films and deposition temper
ature on lattice expansion was investigated. Zr-N and Ti-N films conta
ining various at.% of nitrogen were prepared by reactive sputter depos
ition in a Balzers Sputron plasma beam apparatus. Both Zr-N and Ti-N f
ilms were grown at a substrate temperature of 180-degrees-C and some o
f the ZrN films also at substrate temperatures between 400 and 700-deg
rees-C. Interplanar distances and textures were determined using Seema
nn-Bohlin and Bragg-Brentano X-ray diffraction.
