Abstract

We have measured by the four-point probe or Van der Pauw technique the resistivity in vacuum from 77 K to 873 K or 1073 K of Ti34Si23N43 and Ti53N47. These films were reactively sputter-deposited on oxidized silicon wafers, with thickness ranging from 200 nm to 500 nm. The resistivity of the Ti34 Si23N43 films decreases with temperature from 680. μΩcm at 80 K to about 570 μΩcm at 873 K. In contrast, resistivity of our Ti53N47 films rises with temperature, reaching a stable value of 62 μΩcm at above 673 K.
