Abstract

This study focuses on the sequential formation of aluminide phases during annealing of titanium and aluminum thin film bilayers. The formation of titanium-rich intermetallic phases at higher annealing temperatures is emphasized. Using Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS) analysis, and x-ray diffraction, phases formed as a function of temperature have been identified. The phases Al3Ti through Ti3Al were observed over the temperature range 450–750°C, where reaction with the SiO2 substrate occurred. All phases were present as discreet layers within the samples with several layered phases coexisting at the higher temperatures.
