Hard TiN<sub>2</sub> dinitride films prepared by magnetron sputtering

Abstract

This letter reports on the formation of hard TiN₂ dinitride films prepared by magnetron sputtering. TiN₂ films were reactively sputtered in an Ar + N₂ gas mixture using a pulsed dual magnetron with a closed magnetic field B. The principle of the formation of TiN₂ films by magnetron sputtering is briefly described. The stoichiometry x = N/Ti of the TiN_x films was controlled by deposition parameters, and its maximum value of x = 2.3 was achieved. For the first time, a possibility to form the TiN₂ dinitride films by magnetron sputtering has been demonstrated. The mechanical properties of sputtered films were investigated in detail.
