Abstract: |
In order to explore the effect of pulse frequency on the mechanical properties of TiN films prepared by high-power pulsed magnetron sputtering, different kinds of TiN films are prepared on Si(100) wafers by changing the pulse frequency of High-power impulse magnetron sputtering(HiPIMS) power supply through reactive magnetron sputtering technology. The crystal structure and composition, surface and cross-sectional morphology of the films are characterized by XRD, XPS and SEM. The hardness and elastic modulus of the films are characterized by nanoindenter, and H / E and H3 / E2 are calculated. The results show that the high ionization rate Ti ion bombardment promotes the preferential growth of the film with low strain energy crystal planes, and the prepared TiN film has a (111) preferred orientation. The average grain size of the films is below 10.3 nm, but as the pulse frequency increases, grain size increases, crystallinity and the deposition rate decrease, columnar growth is obvious, and the density decreases, which affects the mechanical properties of the film. At 9 kHz, the grain size of the TiN film is 8.9 nm, and the film has the densest structure with the highest hardness of 30 GPa, an elastic modulus of 374 GPa, and elastic recovery is 62.9%, meaning that the film has the best mechanical properties. |
