Nitride Superlattice Thin Films for Superhard Coatings Ramou Akin-Cole MRSEC Program 2004 Advisor: Paul Salvador Graduate Student: Nitin Patel

Background  Hard materials (e.g. TiN, Al 2 O 3 ) used successfully as coatings to increase tool life by a factor of  Diamond and cubic Boron Nitride are the hardest known materials.  Diamond gets oxidized in air at high temperatures.  Cubic Boron Nitride is difficult to produce as thin film. Cutting tool in operation How can we design materials that have hardness values approaching the hardest known materials ?

Project Objectives  Study orientation effects and hardness with increasing Al content in monolithic Ti 1-x Al x N.  Grow Thin Films using Physical Vapor Deposition(PVD) Technique called Pulsed Laser Deposition.  Characterize films using X-Ray Diffraction and Nanoindenter  Grow TiN/Ti 1-x Al x N superlattices in both (100) and (111) direction. Substrate  TiN Ti 1-x Al x N TiN Ti 1-x Al x N TiN Ti 1-x Al x N TiN

Hardness versus Ti:Al ratio

Conclusion  Al was difficult to grow in crystalline form  TiN and Ti 1-x Al x N grow epitaxially in 100 direction and not in 111 direction.  Superlattices grow well in 100 direction and not in 111 orientation  The hardness values of superlattices show significant enhancement, over individual component  Optimizing processing conditions can enable the growth of (111) oriented monolithic Ti 1-x Al x N films and superlattices
