摘要: AlN films were deposited on microscopy glass slide and silicon (111 orientation) substrates by reactive ac magnetron sputtering using two nitrogen concentrations three discharge powers of 1.5, 2.5, 5.0kW. X-ray diffraction studies showed that prepared Si hexagonal wurtizite phase. Films also contained small amounts the cubic phase besides predominantly coatings textured towards (00∙2) plane; this preferred orientation crystals was found to decrease with increase in power. Scanning electron at higher concentration have a microstructure consisting pebblelike crystals, some which shape. The crystal size increased power range 70–230nm.
