Abstract
We have grown aluminum nitride thin films on quartz and Si(111) substr ates by reactive partially ionized beam deposition, using Al as evapor ation material and N-2 as reactive gas, respectively. We show the resu lts of film characterization by Fourier transform infrared spectroscop y, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction, which establish the growth of aluminum nitride thin films at the substrate temperature of 200 degrees C. X-ray diffra ction results show that the acceleration voltage is a major parameter influencing the crystal structure of the films.
