Titanium nitride (TiN) films were grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) from titanium chlorides, ammonia (NH3) and hydrogen (H2) on single crystal c-plane sapphire, WC–Co, stainless steel and amorphous graphite substrates. The preferred orientation and color of TiN layer are studied by combining a simplified kinetic model with experiments.

ABSTRACTThe microstructural and luminescence properties of europium doped yttrium oxide (Y2O3:Eu) thin films deposited by metallorganic chemical vapor deposition are presented in this work. It was found that surface morphology, crystallinity and photoluminescent emission properties are strongly dependent on substrate temperature during deposition. The depositions were carried out in a stainless steel chamber using yttrium and europium 2,2,6,6,-tetramethyl–3,5-heptanedionates as volatile precursors and O2 as the reactant gas. Post-annealing increased the crystallite size and decreased the lattice parameter, resulting in an increased photoluminescent emission intensity.

Hydrazine was used as a coreactant with tetrakis(dimethylamido)titanium for the low-temperature chemical vapor deposition of TiN between 50 and 200 °C. The TiN film-growth rates ranged from 5 to 45 nm/min. Ti:N ratios of approximately 1:1 were achieved. The films contain between 2 and 25 at.% carbon, as well as up to 36 at.% oxygen resulting from diffusion after air exposure. The resistivity of these films is approximately 104 μΩ cm. Annealing the films in ammonia enhances their crystallinity. The best TiN films were produced at 200 °C from a 2.7% hydrazine–ammonia mixture. The Ti:N ratio of these films is approximately 1:1, and they contain no carbon or oxygen. These films exhibit the highest growth rates observed.
