Elastic modulus and coefficient of thermal expansion of piezoelectric Al1−xScxN (up to x = 0.41) thin films

Aluminum scandium nitride (Al1−xScxN with x = 0–0.41) thin films were deposited by reactive pulsed-DC magnetron sputtering on Si(001) and Al2O3(0001) substrates. X-ray diffraction indicated high degree of c-axis orientation in all the films, and based on pole figure measurements, epitaxial relations...
