研究目的為探討基板偏壓對於氮化鈦鋯薄膜結構與性質之影響,本實驗是利用非平衡磁控濺鍍法將奈米晶氮化鈦鋯 (TiZrN) 薄膜鍍著於(100)矽晶片上,並且應用不同的基板偏壓,範圍由-35V至-150V,實驗結果指出,所有的試片都存在高強度的(111)織構。在本研究中,我們發現當基板偏壓超過-35V以上,氮化鈦鋯薄膜的性質會顯著的改善,在-40V至-120V之間,氮化鈦鋯薄膜保持著優良的性質,包含:高硬度、高輝度、低電組及平坦的表面。在此區間,氮化鈦鋯薄膜的平均硬度為35.5 GPa,平均電阻為33.5μΩ-cm、輝度達到80以上而且薄膜粗糙度介於0.5nm至0.6nm之間。在大範圍的應用偏壓中,氮化鈦鋯薄膜保持優良的性質,這指出製程參數範圍非常廣。然而當基板偏壓達到-150V,有結構損傷以及薄膜剝落的現象發生,透過拉塞福背向散射分析儀(RBS)的結果與掃描式電子顯微鏡(SEM)也可以驗證此結構損傷現象。對於保護鍍附層,必須要有低的殘餘應力來防止薄膜剝落,藉由控制基板偏壓可以將殘餘應力控制在較低的值。在此研究中隨著基板偏壓由-65V下降至-35V,殘餘應力逐漸下降,在低偏壓-40V和-45V時,氮化鈦鋯薄膜可以同時獲得高硬度以及較低的殘餘應力,硬度與殘餘應力分別為33.4~34.5GPa和-2.7~-3.7GPa。
The objective is to investigate the substrate bias effect on the structure and properties of the TiZrN thin films. The TiZrN thin films were deposited by DC unbalanced magnetron sputtering system (UBMS) with dual guns (Ti,Zr) targets onto Si (100) substrates at different substrate bias ranging from -35V to -150V. Experimental results indicated that all the specimens have strong (111) texture in XRD patterns. In this study, we discovered a transition bias of -35 V, above which a significant improvement of properties was found, including high hardness, excellent brilliance, low resistivity and fine surface morphology. Within the bias range of -40 to -120 V, the hardness of TiZrN films is around 35.5 GPa, the resistivity is about 33.5μΩ-cm, and the brilliance is larger than 80. The roughness is between 0.5 nm and 0.6 nm. The TiZrN films maintain excellent properties through a large range of applying bias, indicating that the process window is considerable wide. However, structure damage and thin film delamination were found when substrate bias reached -150V. The RBS result and SEM image further support the structure damage at -150 V. For protective coatings, low residual stress is required to avoid delamination. By adjusting substrate bias, residual stress can be controlled to lower value. In this study, the residual stress of TiZrN films gradually decreases with decreasing the substrate bias ranging from -65V to -35V. The TiZrN thin films with high hardness, lower residual stress could be obtained simultaneously at low substrate bias of -40V and -45V, the hardness and residual stress are 33.4~34.5GPa and -2.7 ~-3.7GPa, respectively.
