Abstract

Highly (002) oriented aluminum nitride (AlN) films were successfully prepared on a 64deg-YX LiNbO3 substrate by r.f. magnetron sputtering. The crystalline structure of the films was determined by grazing incident angle X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the surface microstructure of films was investigated by Scanning electron microscope (SEM). The atom composition ratio (Al/N) of the films was also determined by Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS). The results showed the optimal (002) oriented AlN films were prepared at 200 C and 5 m Torr. The atom composition ratio (Al/N) was 0.96 (near 1).
