Comparative investigation of the structure and mechanical properties of AlCrN and AlCrVYN thin films deposited by dcMS, HiPIMS, and hybrid dcMS/HiPIMS

AlCrN and AlCrVYN thin films were deposited by physical vapor deposition using dcMS, HiPIMS and hybrid dcMS/HiPIMS processes. Although all the thin films were produced using the same time-average power and show only slight differences in the chemical composition, significant differences regarding th...
