摘要: In this paper, we report on the growth and study of Ti/TiN nanometric multilayers. The preparation these films has been carried out by high vacuum diode r.f. sputtering. Growth was in-situ monitored kinetic ellipsometry. Deposition temperature kept to room low (-120°C) respectively in order modify interface properties consequently understand effect interfaces film's mechanical properties. thickness each layer varied from 1 nm 10 alternately repeated obtain a total 200 nm. After deposition, were characterized means X-ray diffraction grazing reflectometry for structural determination. This shows that TiN-Ti boundary is composed TiN x , with going nominal nitrogen concentration 0. can be due either surface reaction incident titanium during Ti sequence present at film or target sequence.
