摘要

Nanoindentation experiments have been performed to assess the mechanical behavior of chromium nitride (Cr_xN_y) thin films sputtered in different deposition geometries and with varying Ar and N_2 pressures. The hardness and elastic modulus of chromium nitrides are of great interest with regard to their applications. In the present work, two different deposition geometries, i.e. multi-substrate and confocal, were used to sputter (DC magnetron) a Cr_xN_y layer on Si (100) wafers at varying nitrogen flow rates. The results of the nanoindentation experiments indicate that, over a similar argon and nitrogen regime, the Cr_xN_y films grown in a multi-substrate geometry exhibit higher hardness and elastic modulus on the average than those grown in the confocal geometry. Furthermore, it was found that in the multi-substrate geometry the hardness and elastic modulus of the films were significantly higher than those in the confocally deposited films for a specific regime of the nitrogen flow rate (10-14 sccm). Finally, observations of the mechanical properties trends could be correlated with a higher degree of anisotropic stress for films grown in the multi-substrate in comparison to the confocal geometry.
