摘要
通过磁控反应溅射仪制备了TaN/TiN和TaWN/TiN多晶超晶格薄膜,采用X射线衍射仪(XRD)、透射电子显微镜和显微硬度仪对超晶格薄膜的微结构和硬度进行了分析结果表明,TaN/TiN和TaWN/TiN二超晶格体系中各组成材料的晶体结构均为面心立方,呈多晶外延生长模式,从而形成共格界面,产生协调应变TaN/TiN和TaWN/TiN超晶格薄膜都存在超硬效应,分别在调制周期9.0和5.6nm时取得相应的最大硬度值HK=40.0和50.0GPa.研究认为不同的晶格错配度影响薄膜的硬度以及硬度峰值的位置。
The polycrystalline TaN/TiN and TaWN/TiN superlattice films have been grown byreactive magnetron sputtering. The microstructures and microhardness of the superlattice films havebeen studied with X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and microhardnesstester. The results show that the crystal structure of the component materials in TaN/TiN and TaWN/TiNsuperlattice films are faced-center cubic (FCC) and have a epitaxially grown mode of polycrystallinity. Thecoherent strain has been produced due to the coherent interfaces. TaN/TiN and TaWN/TiN superlatticefilms all have superhardness effect and have hardness maximum values HK=40.0 and 50.0 GPa with amodulation period at 9.0 and 5.6 nm respectively. The authors have proposed that the lattice mismatchaffect the microhardness value and the peak position where hardness gets its maximum. The main reasoncausing hardness anomalies is the inhibition of dislocation motion by alternating stress fields of interfacial coherent strain.
