Abstract

Tantalum nitride (TAN) films have been deposited on silicon substrates by using a pulsed Nd:YAG laser deposition method. Experimental results suggest that the substrate temperature is one of the most important parameters to prepare crystalline tantalum nitride thin films. Glancing-angle X-ray diffraction patterns show that the films deposited at Ts ≤ 300 °C are almost amorphous. and crystalline Ta6N2.57 films are obtained at Ts ≥ 500 °C. Grain size of the film increases with increasing substrate temperature.
