Titanium nitride thin films (TiN) are fabricated by DC magnetron sputtering on different types of substrates such as glass substrates, PET substrates, substrate alloy (AISI 304) and drill steel. In this work we study the effect of distance target - substrate, sputtering time and negative voltage to the crystal structure, mechanical properties and optical films. The properties of thin films were studied by X-ray diffraction method Stylus, UV – Vis method and scanning electron microscopy. Results showed that the distance target - substrate, sputtering time and negative voltage affects the crystalline structure, mechanical properties and optical films. TiN films have been synthesized highly crystalline structure, crystal structure of thin films oriented along the the surface lattice (111), (200) and (311). Besides TiN thin films also have high reflectance in the visible and infrared range, good adhesion, high chemical durability.

In this work the effects of amorphous (glass) and crystalline (Si) substrates on the structural, morphological and adhesion properties of CoFeB thin film deposited by DC Magnetron sputtering were investigated. It was found that the structure of a substrate affects to crystal formation, surface morphology and adhesion of CoFeB thin films. The X-Ray diffraction patterns reveal that as-deposited CoFeB thin film at low sputtering power was amorphous and would become crystal when the power increased. The increase in crystalline structure of CoFeB thin film is attributed to the crystalline substrate and the increase of kinetic energy of sputtering atoms. Atomic Force Microscopy images of CoFeB thin film clearly show that the roughness, grain size, and uniformity correlate to the sputtering power and the structure of substrate. The CoFeB thin film on glass substrate shows a smooth surface and a small grain size whereas the CoFeB thin film on Si substrate shows a rough surface and a slightly increases of grain size. Sticky Tape Test on CoFeB thin film deposited on glass substrate indicates the adhesion failure with a high sputtering power. The results suggest that the crystalline structure of substrate affects to the atomic bonding and the sputtering power affects to intrinsic stress of CoFeB thin film.

TiCrN thin films have been prepared using a reactive DC magnetron sputtering system from a mosaic target. The effects of sputtering current, in the range of 300 to 700 mA, on the structure of the thin films were investigated. The crystal structure, microstructure, thickness, and composition were characterized by GI-XRD, FE-SEM and EDS technique, respectively. The results revealed that all the as-deposited films were formed as a (Ti,Cr)N solid solution. The as-deposited TiCrN films showed a nanostructure with a crystallite size less than 70 nm. The crystal sizes of all planes were in the range of 22.2 to 69.9 nm. The lattice constants were in the range of 4.149 Å to 4.175 Å. The thickness increases from 1630 nm to 4910 nm with increasing the sputtering current. The elemental composition (Ti Cr and N contents) of the as-deposited films were varied with the sputtering current. Lastly, the all of the thin films in this work showed compact columnar and dense morphology as a resulted of increasing the sputtering current.
