Modification of in-plate refractory metal texture by use of refractory metal/nitride layer

A method for achieving, and a structure containing, a thin film refractory metal with a generally symmetric microstructual morphology. Incorporation of between 1 and 5% by atomic fraction nitrogen into the refractory metal selected from the group of Ti, V, Cr, Nb, Mo, Ta, W and alloys thereof result...

Zusammenfassung:A method for achieving, and a structure containing, a thin film refractory metal with a generally symmetric microstructual morphology. Incorporation of between 1 and 5% by atomic fraction nitrogen into the refractory metal selected from the group of Ti, V, Cr, Nb, Mo, Ta, W and alloys thereof results in the desired structural morphology and electrical resistance. Multi-layer structures can be built up of alternate layers of refractory metal with and without nitrogen to achieve a desired product. Alternate layers can vary in thickness and nitrogen content.
