XRD analysis of TiN deposited at 150o C Sheet resistance measurements

Conclusions for Cr-N and TiN films Ion irradiation induces local rearrangements in the layer structure, the polycrystalline structure being retained Original columns become disconnected, nano-particles of the same phase are formed The resulting structures contain more crystalline defects (point defects in larger grains, nano-particles) which induce higher electrical resistivity No measurable changes in surface roughness were found Sheet resistance measurements can be useful to interpret the results of structural analysis

Microhardness measurements

Conclusions for substrate pre-implantation Low energy, high fluence nitrogen implants induce formation of Fe-nitrides in the near surface region of the substrates Substrate pre-implantation influences preferred orientation of the grown TiN crystal grains The layers deposited on pre-implanted substrate exhibit a higher microhardness Total increase of the substrate microhardness after nitrogen pre-implantation and TiN deposition is up to more than eight times

Ion beam modification of multilayered thin film structures nano-scaled multilayered structures TiN/Ti, TiN/AlN, etc, offer numerous advantages over single layer components higher performance at much lower thickness, higher strength and hardness due to multiple interfaces, can form super lattices, graded structures, etc ion beams can be useful for preparation and modification in the processes such as IBAD, plasma immersion, or ion implantation – homogenization, more dense and less porous structures

Conclusions for high fluence N implantation in Al/Ti multilayers Nitrogen implantation can be used to form (Al,Ti)N multilayered structures from Al/Ti layers The layers are intermixed => tightly bound at the interfaces, have graded composition, but the multilayered structure is preserved Ion irradiation induces larger grains and formation of lamellar grains stretching over a number of layers XPS studies are in progress to analyze chemical composition Microhardness results – shown below

Conclusions for ion irradiation stability of Al/Ti versus AlN/TiN multilayers Both systems preserve multilayered structure Al and Ti are chemically reactive => the layers become progressively intermixed with increasing the ion fluence, formation of Al-Ti phases is detected; ion irradiation induces larger grains and formation of lamellar columns stretching over a number of layers In AlN/TiN system the components are immiscible => no detectable intermixing is observed, it is lower compared even to ballistic mixing, only a small increase of the mean grain size in individual layers can be seen Non-mixing, or de-mixing published so far only for immiscible metal layers Cu/Nb with He+, W/Ni with Au9+,
