Effects of impact energy on morphology, structure and tribological properties of titanium nitride films deposited by energetic cluster impact
Titanium nitride films were deposited on silicon(100) substrate at room temperature with various substrate bias voltages (corresponding to various impact energy) by energetic cluster impact (ECI). Atomic force microscope (AFM) and X-ray diffraction(XRD) were employed to characterize the morphology and structure of TiN films
respectively. The tribological properties of TiN films were investigated by a Vicker microhardness tester and SRV fretting wear tester. The results showed that the clusters were gently stocked one above the other in low bias voltage; the clusters broke apart and films with superior density
adhesion and smoothness were formed at high bias voltage. The films formed within certain range of bias
have (220) preferred orientation and possess high microhardness
low friction coefficient and good anti-wear property.
