A method for growing highly (100)-oriented aluminum nitride thin films on silicon substrate in poor vacuum systems using radio frequency magnetron sputtering has been developed. The films produced under near ideal deposition conditions exhibit good quality with stoichiometry close to 1:1 and low oxygen concentrations. These films, showing potential for surface acoustic wave sensing devices, were characterized using various techniques including RBS, XRD, Fourier transform infrared, and Raman spectroscopy.
A method for growth of highly (100)-oriented aluminum nitride (AlN) thin films on (100) Si substrate, in poor vacuum systems, by radio frequency magnetron sputtering was developed. This method allows prediction for near ideal deposition conditions in which high quality films with good stoichiometry Al/N (approximate to 1:1) and low oxygen concentration (< 10%) are produced. During the depositions, the substrate was fed by floating potential. The temperature, the nitrogen flow, RF power and sputtering pressure were fixed, whereas the target-substrate distance and the deposition time were varied. Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS) measurements estimated film thicknesses of 170 nm, 255 nm, and 480 nm and the amount of oxygen incorporated of 43.32%, 29.80%, and 24.67%, respectively. XRD analysis revealed that films grown with substrate placed near the region of the cathodic sheath are amorphous. However, the other three samples exhibited good crystallinity and orientation (100). Surface properties of the films have been also examined by Fourier transform infrared and Raman spectroscopy. Overall, the characteristics of the obtained highly (100)-oriented AlN films evidence their potential to fabricate surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensing devices.
