Abstract:The various nitrogen gas (N2) flows for depositing zirconium-nitride (ZrN) films on the substrate of a p-type (100) silicon wafer are investigated through reactive magnetron sputtering by a pulsed-DC power. The results, based on the design of experimental (DOE) method, indicate that the deposition effect of the ZrNx film is obviously affected by various flow rates of nitrogen gas at the specific pulsing duty cycles. The crystal orientation of the zirconium-nitride film has a less order microstructure which is … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
