Influence of Sputtering Power on the Structure, Optical and Electric Properties of Cu3N Films

Article Preview

Abstract:

The Cu3N films were deposited successfully by reactive direct current magnetron sputtering, the films were comprehensively and systematically characterized by X-ray diffraction analyzer (XRD), UV-Visible spectrophotometer, four-probe resistance tester and other instruments. Results showed that under low deposition power (80W~100W), crystal orientation increased, which is attributed to higher energy under higher power. When sputtering power exceeded the value, excessive energy led to anti-sputtering hindering the process of further nucleation and growth of films. The transmittance of the films deposited under 100W reached the peak value of 78% on the scope of near-infrared light, and optical band gap (Eg) of 1.35ev. The resistivity of Cu3N films increased from 9.68×102Ω.cm to 2.12×103 Ω.cm with increasing in sputtering power up to 100W.
