摘要
Using direct current (DC) or radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering techniques, NbN/AlN/NbN junctions or AlN/NbN bilayers are prepared on single crystal MgO (001) or MgO (111) substrates respectively, both at ambient substrate temperatures. The crystalline structures of such multilayers are characterized layer-by-layer using X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Interestingly, the AlN barrier in NbN/AlN/NbN/ MgO (001) is amorphous while the NbN/AlN/NbN/MgO (111) is single-crystalline with (001) orientation. The electrical properties of these two structures are compared. Also discussed are the DC and high frequency behavior of NbN/AlN/NbN/ MgO (001) junction.
