Interfacial Reaction between Titanium Thin Films and Aluminum Nitride Substrates

Interdiffusion and reaction at the interface between titanium thin films and AlN have been studied by using Rutherford backscattering spectrometry and transmission electron microscopy. Ti2AlN is formed as a result of reaction with titanium and AlN at temperatures of 800°‐950°C. The activation energy...

Zusammenfassung:Interdiffusion and reaction at the interface between titanium thin films and AlN have been studied by using Rutherford backscattering spectrometry and transmission electron microscopy. Ti2AlN is formed as a result of reaction with titanium and AlN at temperatures of 800°‐950°C. The activation energy for Ti2AlN formation in the temperature range of 800°‐850°C is 224 kJ/mol, which is similar to that of nitrogen diffusion in titanium. Therefore, the formation of Ti2AlN is believed to be controlled by the diffusion of nitrogen in titanium.
