Titanium boron nitride (Ti-B-N) films with various contents were deposited using titanium and targets in a reactive magnetron sputtering system. The content the film was varied from 0 at.-% to 8.7 at.-%, evaluate its properties. Various analytical techniques such as X-ray diffraction, high-resolution electron microscopy, nanoindentation ball-on-disk dry sliding etc. used. Incorporation of B into influenced microstructure, mechanical room-temperature tribological At 0.2 exhibited highest...

The barrier properties and diffusion behavior of Cu(Re) alloy films were studied. deposited onto barrierless SiO2/Si by magnetron sputtering. X-ray diffraction patterns electric resistivity results proved that the without a layer thermally stable up to 550 °C. Transmission electron microscopy images energy-dispersive spectrometry employing scanning transmission provided evidence for self-formed Re-enriched between substrate. Furthermore, chemical states Re atoms at Cu(Re)/SiO2 interface...
