Ion Beam Deposition of Boron-Aluminum Nitride Thin Films
AbstractAnalysis of the phase behavior, structure, and composition of aluminum nitride thin films with up to 22% boron prepared by ion-beam assisted deposition is presented. the c-lattice constant of the film decreased with increasing boron content as expected from the formation of an aIN - wurtzite BN alloy. there was no evidence for separate boron nitride precipitation from either X-ray diffraction or FTIR. IN contrast, auger electron spectroscopy of the boron present in the films suggested that two types of boron bonding was present.
