Abstract

The conditions for obtaining tin-nitrogen films by reactive cathodic sputtering in a d.c. system have been determined. The influence of the sputtering parameters on the deposition rate and the density of the films was studied. The amorphous nature of the films was demonstrated by electron diffraction. The different components were identified by microanalysis and infrared spectroscopy. The study shows that the films consist of an amorphous tin nitride matrix Sn 3N 4 containing molecular nitrogen and traces of free tin.
