摘 要:采用反应溅射法制备了TiN/AlN纳米多层膜,并通过XRD,HREM和显微硬度计对多层膜的调制结构和力学性能进行了研究。结果表明:TiN/AlN纳米多层膜有较好的调制结构。小调制周期时,AlN调制层以FCC结构在TiN调制层上外延生长。调制周期增大,AlN调制层中出现六方晶型。TiN/AlN的显微硬度随调制周期的减小单调上升,并在调制周期?=2nm时达到最高值HK3293。硬度的增高极有可能是小调制周期时立方AlN的形成所致。

A Study of TiN/AlN Nano Multilayers
Abstract:TiN/AlN nano-multilayers were fabricated by reactive sputtering method. The microstructure and mechanical properties were determined by XRD, HREM and microindentor respectively. The results show that TiN/AlN nano-multilayers have a good periodic modulation structure. AlN layers grow epitaxilly on the TiN layers as FCC structure in nano-multilayer with short modulation wavelength. However, hexagonal crystals appear in AlN layers with modulation wavelength increasing. The microhardness of TiN/AlN nano-multilayers increases with reduction of their modulation wavelength and reaches the maximum value HK3293 at ?=2nm.
Key words:nano-multilayers; reactive sputtering; modulation structure; microhardness
