Anisotropic and non-heterogeneous continuum percolation in titanium oxynitride thin columnar films

We report the percolation behaviour of the conductivity of titanium oxynitride films grown by low-pressure metal-organic chemical vapour deposition, composed of TiNxOy mixed with TiO2. The usual DC parameters (t, s and Φc), obtained from the effective media theory equations, are compared to the univ...

Zusammenfassung:We report the percolation behaviour of the conductivity of titanium oxynitride films grown by low-pressure metal-organic chemical vapour deposition, composed of TiNxOy mixed with TiO2. The usual DC parameters (t, s and Φc), obtained from the effective media theory equations, are compared to the universal values (s = sun while t < tun because of the film anisotropy). This is the first example of an electrical continuum percolation applied to columnar films with chemically similar conducting and insulating units (non-heterogeneous percolation) whose mixing is based upon the growth temperature during the film growth.
