INVESTIGATION OF THE SPUTTERING CONDITIONS ON THE DEPOSITION OF THE NbN THIN FILMS ONTO GLASS AND Si/SiO SUBSTRATES

Abstract

NbN thin films are very useful superconducting materials for the electronic devices. Using sputter deposition technique is a cheap alternative to produce of NbN thin films on glass or SiO for the technology applications. The NbN films was coated on glass and SiO/Si substrates by DC magnetron sputtering tehcnique. Pure Nb target was used the production of NbN thin films in different compositions of Argon and nitrogen gases. The effects of different substrate temperatures, sputtering power and, various ratios of Nitrogen/Argon gases were investigated on Superconducting Critical Temperature (Tc). It is seen that increasing the substrate temperature or sputtering power resulted in increased on the Tc. Thereby optimum condition values are deduced by the Residual Resistance Ratio (RRR) calculation and resistance-temperature (R-T) curves. It is observed that the substrate temperature and the flux of nitrogen gas effect (111) preferential orientation during the deposition, whereas the critical temperature of the thin films is affected by the of deposition chamber vacuum. Tc is also highly dependent on the Nitrogen and Argon pressures on sputtering deposited NbN films.
