摘要: Abstract Iron nitride (FeN) thin films were deposited on silicon wafer substrates by dc reactive magnetron sputtering techniques. The FeN prepared at the fixed substrate temperature 200°C under different nitrogen flow rates. crystal structures, physical morphologies, and surface roughness of characterized grazing-incident X-ray diffraction (GIXRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), atomic force (AFM), respectively. From results, GIXRD patterns indicated change in film orientations from ξ-Fe2N to γ”-FeN along with increased In addition, FE-SEM micrographs demonstrated decrease thickness. effects rates towards crystallinity, morphology, investigated discussed.
