A series of TiN coatings were deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering with different target powers and different N2flows. The microstructure and oxidation resistance of TiN coatings were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The hardness of the thin films was characterized respectively with the nanoindentor. The effect of target powers and the N2flows on the microstructure, the hardness and oxidation resistance was studied. It was found that TiN coating deposited at different target powers and different N2flows exhibits a cubic structure with (1 1 1) preferred orientations, and the hardness of TiN coatings is 1200. The oxidation resistance of the TiN coatings is approximately 500°C.

W-doped Vanadium oxide thin films were prepared on the substrates of glass and Si (100) by reactive magnetron sputtering after annealing in vacuum. The structure and morphology were characterized by X-ray diffractometer and atomic force microscopy(AFM), respectively. The results show that,when the oxygen volume percent (Po2) increasing from 15% to 25%, the films on the Si(100) were vanadium oxides with high-valences. After vacuum annealing at 500°C for 2h, the major phase of W doped films on glass is VO2. The surface roughness of the film increase for the longer time annealing.

The CrN ceramic thin films were deposited using DC reactive magnetron sputtering system on silicon wafer substrate. Oxidation behavior was carried out in air at evaluated temperatures ranging from 500 °C up to 900 °C for 2 h. The structure and element composition of the films at different thermal annealing temperatures ranging were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS), respectively. The oxidation activation energies of the films were calculated using Arrhenius equation. The changes in the crystal structure from CrN to Cr2O3 phase were investigated from XRD results. The accumulation of grains on surface was confirmed by FESEM micrographs. The cross-section analysis showed an apparent columnar feature with dense structure for the film annealed at low temperature, and becomes porous when increasing the annealing temperature. The thickness was increased from 1.43 to 2.67 μm. The EDS studies indicated the existence of Cr, N and O with different elements compositions on the deposited thin films. The oxidation activation energy for the CrN thin films is 124.4 kJ/mol.
