Abstract

TiN films synthesized on leucosapphire substrates by dual magnetron sputtering have been annealed in vacuum at 600, 700, 800, and 900°C for 2 min. The microstructure and morphology of the films have been studied by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy at different temperatures. It has been found that annealing changes the microstructure, texture, grain size, and surface roughness of the TiN films.
