Abstract

One of the advantages of the ion beam assisted deposition process is its controllability of the processing parameters such as: ion-to-atom arrival ratio and the ion energy. In this study, the effects of the nitrogen ion energy (from 1 KV to 30KV) on the TiN film morphology and microstructures were systematically investigated as a function of ion-to-atom arrival ratios, using TEM, XTEM, SEM, ESCA and other analytical techniques.
