摘要

氮化钛(TiNx)薄膜在半导体、纳米技术和日常生活的各个方面有着广泛的应用。本研究提出了一种在物理气相沉积(PVD)过程(直流磁控溅射)中通过改变 N2 和 Ar 的气体比例来调整 TiNx 超薄薄膜机械性能的方法,包括杨氏模量、残余应力和热膨胀系数(CTE)。实验中研究了三种不同气体比例 RN(= N2/(N2 + Ar))的 TiNx 薄膜。为了证明这种方法的可行性,在二氧化硅梁上沉积了不同 RN 值(0.3、0.5 和 0.8)的 TiNx 薄膜,以形成复合测试悬臂。测量结果表明,通过在 PVD 过程中改变气体比例,TiNx 薄膜的杨氏模量、残余应力和 CTE 都发生了显著变化(从 33% 到 2 倍不等)。因此,这项研究为用户根据特定应用要求定制 TiNx 薄膜提供了直接的方法和指导。

On the mechanical properties of ultrathin titanium nitride films under different gas ratios of PVD process
Titanium Nitride (TiNx) thin film has numerous applications in semiconductors, nanotechnology, and various aspects of daily life. This study presents an approach to adjusting the mechanical properties of TiNx ultrathin films, including Young's modulus, residual stress, and coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE), by varying the gas ratio of N2 and Ar during the Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) process (DC magnetron sputtering). In the experiment, TiNx films with three different gas ratios RN (= N2/(N2 + Ar)) were investigated. To demonstrate the feasibility of this approach, TiNx films with different RN values (0.3, 0.5, and 0.8) were deposited on SiO2 beams to form composite test cantilevers. Measurements reveal significant changes (ranging from 33 % to 2-fold) in Young's modulus, residual stress, and CTE of the TiNx films by varying the gas ratio during the PVD process. As a result, this study provides a straightforward approach and guidelines for users to tailor TiNx films according to specific application requirements.
