Description
Summary:The influence of technological parameters, such as discharge power, working gas pressure, growth surface temperature, on the formation mechanisms and main characteristics of aluminum nitride has been investigated in the work. On the basis of optimization of the stated technological parameters, the aluminum nitride layers close to stoichiometric composition having hexagonal crystal lattice of wurtzite type have been obtained. The investigations of the structure, phase composition and microhardness have been performed for the layers with elemental composition closest to the stoichiometric one. The microhardness of the layers obtained varies from 0.760 to 1.12 GPa.
