研究目的
Investigating the composition and thickness of TiN thin films deposited on different substrates using vacuum arc discharge, through ion beam analysis and other characterization techniques.
研究成果
TiN thin films with stoichiometric composition (N/Ti ratio ~1) were successfully deposited on various substrates using vacuum arc discharge. Ion beam analysis techniques proved effective for depth profiling and composition analysis, supported by SEM/EDX and XRD. The choice of substrate influences film properties such as grain size and surface morphology.
研究不足
TOF-ERDA measurements were only performed on the silicon substrate due to limited beam time. Cross-section data for some nuclear reactions were not fully available, potentially affecting accuracy. The study is limited to specific substrates and deposition conditions.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used vacuum arc discharge for deposition and ion beam analysis (EBS and NRA) for characterization, optimized to avoid peak overlaps. Other methods like TOF-ERDA, SEM/EDX, and XRD were used for verification.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Four substrates were used: Si(100), stainless steel SS316, AlN coated soda lime glass, and Teflon. Samples were prepared as per previous work.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment includes a V-1000 'U' vacuum arc deposition system, 3 MV HVEE tandem ion beam accelerator, PIPS detectors, TOF-ERDA system, Tescan Vega II XMU SEM, and Stoe Transmission X-ray diffractometer. Materials include high-pure Ti target and various substrates.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Films were deposited simultaneously on substrates under vacuum with nitrogen discharge. Ion beam measurements used alpha beams at 2 MeV and 4.5 MeV, with detectors at specific angles and absorbers. SEM/EDX and XRD were performed for additional analysis.
5:5 MeV, with detectors at specific angles and absorbers. SEM/EDX and XRD were performed for additional analysis. Data Analysis Methods:
5. Data Analysis Methods: Data were analyzed using SIMNRA and Multi-SIMNRA software for ion beam data, with cross-section data from IBANDL. SEM/EDX and XRD data were processed for composition and crystallinity.
