Abstract
Nanolayered multilayer coatings of TiAlN/TiN and TiN/NbN were deposited on Si (100) substrates at various modulation wavelengths (i.e., bilayer thickness,A) using a reactive dc magnetron sputtering system. These coatings were characterized using micro-Raman spectroscopy to study the effect of interfaces on the optical-phonon modes. For TiAlN/TiN multilayers, the optical-phonon band shifts to higher frequencies with a decrease in the modulation wavelength. Furthermore, the optical-phonon band shifts to higher frequencies with an increase in the substrate13; temperature for TiAlN/TiN multilayers deposited at A=80 xC5;. No such shift was observed for single-layer TiN and TiN/NbN multilayer coatings. This observed shift has been attributed to interdiffusion between the layers during deposition, which is more for TiAlN/TiN multilayers as13; compared to TiN/NbN multilayers. The x-ray-diffraction data showed well-defined satellite reflections for TiN/NbN multilayers at low modulation wavelengths and very weak satellite reflections for TiAlN/TiN multilayers, indicating that interfaces were very broad for TiAlN/TiN13; multilayers. The nanoindentation data showed no significant improvement in the hardness of13; TiAlN/TiN multilayers as compared to the rule-of-mixture value, whereas TiN/NbN multilayers showed an improvement in the hardness, which was two times the rule-of-mixture value. The low hardness of TiAlN/TiN multilayers has been attributed to interfacial diffusion. xA9; 2005 American13; Institute of Physics. (DOI: 10.1063/1.1946193)
