摘要
AIN nitride films are grown by reactive pulsed laser ablation of aluminum target in N-2 atmosphere. The influence of process parameters such as N-2 pressure and laser fluence is investigated. Films are characterized by Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy, Nuclear Reaction Analysis, X Ray Diffraction and X Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy. O contamination appears in the film and its origin is discussed. To enhance N-2 dissociation, a RF discharge device is coupled to the deposition chamber. Its effect on thin film composition is studied. Emission spectroscopy is performed in order to find the best RF working point for N-2 molecule dissociation and to understand species transport from the target towards the substrate as a function of process parameters. Thin film with a stoichiometry near to Al1N1 can be obtained with low O contamination working with 6 J/cm(2) laser fluence, 0.01 mbar N-2 with RF discharge added.
