Effects of temperature and target power on the sputter-deposition of (Ti,Zr)n+1AlCn MAX-phase thin films

Solid solution MAX phases in the Ti–Zr–Al–C system are investigated by sputter-deposition from elemental (Al, C) and alloy (Ti:Zr 50:50) targets. The effect of substrate temperature in the range 850 ​°C–1000 ​°C and different Al target-power are discussed. Lower-temperature conditions yielded films...

description Solid solution MAX phases in the Ti–Zr–Al–C system are investigated by sputter-deposition from elemental (Al, C) and alloy (Ti:Zr 50:50) targets. The effect of substrate temperature in the range 850 ​°C–1000 ​°C and different Al target-power are discussed. Lower-temperature conditions yielded films mainly composed of carbide and aluminide phases, (Ti,Zr)C and Al3Zr(Ti), while temperatures ​≥ ​950 ​°C resulted in (Ti,Zr)2AlC MAX-phase-containing films.
