摘要
Carbon diffusion is observed in single crystal alpha-Al2O3 substrates from carbon and Ti2AlC thin films synthesized via pulsed cathodic arc deposition. Diffusion was found to occur at substrate temperatures of 570 degrees C and above. The diffusion coefficient of carbon in alpha-Al2O3 is estimated to be of the order 3 x 10(-13) cm(2)/s for deposition temperatures in the 570-770 degrees C range by examining elastic recoil detection analysis (ERDA) elemental depth profiles. It is suggested that an appropriate diffusion barrier may be useful when depositing carbon containing thin films on alpha-Al2O3 substrates at high temperatures.
