RMS of transfer layers on ZrO2-coated shrouds after rub tests against SiC laser-tipped metallic blades showed the formation of metallic oxides MeIMeII2O4 of spinel type. Wear tracks were partly covered by graphite and spinel-type oxides. In some cases, the latter were better detectable after laser enhanced cleaning by burning off the covering carbon layer.

Coatings were deposited by physical vapor deposition and plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition techniques and tribological properties were derived from reciprocating sliding tests of the coatings against alumina balls. Three types of wear particles were identified by electron diffraction and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy: nanocrystalline rutile (TiO2), nanocrystalline graphite and microcrystalline graphite. Low coefficients of friction, of the order of 0.2, were attributed to the formation of solid lubricant films of sub-stoichiometric TiO2-x Magnéli phases and/or graphite.

T1 - XTEM and TFXRD investigations of ohmic Ti/Al/Ti/Au/WSiN contacts on AlGaN/GaN HFET layer systems N2 - The microstructural features of the high-temperature-stable ohmic contact system Ti/Al/Ti/Au/WSiN on AlGaN/GaN were investigated using analytical transmission electron microscopy and thin film x-ray diffraction. For two typical rapid thermal annealing steps at 750 °C (non-ohmic behaviour) and 850 °C (ohmic behaviour) the intermetallic phases at the metal-semiconductor interface are presented. Increased annealing leads to the transformation of an Al2Au-AlAuTi phase mixture to a mixture of Al2Au-Al3Au8 phases and the formation of Ti-Al-nitride layers at the interfaces. In light of these results the electrical contact properties are discussed.

A1 - Schultze, J. T1 - XPS and XTEM study of AlN formation by N+2 implantation of aluminium N2 - X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (XTEM) were used to study the formation of AlN films by N+2 ion implantation of aluminium at energies of 3 keV and 100 keV. In both cases, a two-stage mechanism was found, comprising first the oriented precipitation of small particles of the hexagonal AlN-phase, followed by growth and coalescence finally forming a continuous AlN-layer while increasing the implantation dose from 1×1017 cm-2 to 2×1017 cm-2. The results of both methods are in excellent agreement and furthermore provide complementary information concerning chemical composition and binding energies as well as microstructural details.

T1 - Microstructural characterization of binary and ternary hard coating systems for wear protection - Part I: PVD coatings N2 - Different wear-resistant coatings produced by physical vapour deposition (PVD) were characterized with the aid of cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (XTEM). All coating systems were optimized by the producers and exhibited good properties with respect to their special applications. The microstructure, texture and chemical composition of binary and ternary systems produced by the arc process [TiN, CrN, Cr2N (Ti, Cr)N on steel substrates] and magnetron sputtering process [TiN, CrN on steel substrates, (Ti, Al)N on Si-substrate] were investigated. All coatings had a more or less columnar microstructure, which was interrupted by interlayers in some cases. Whereas arc coatings always did show some kind of substrate modification, the latter was not observed after magnetron sputtering. Electron diffraction normally revealed a mono-phase fcc structure, except at sites very near to the interface. Only for the systems Cr–N and (Ti, Cr)–N were different additional phases observed at low nitrogen partial pressures.

A1 - Österle, Werner T1 - Au/Pt/Ti/Pt base contacts to n-InGaP/p+-GaAs for self-passivating HBT ledge structures N2 - Multi-layer ohmic contact systems such as Au/Pt/Ti/Pt on III-V double layers such as n-InGaP/p+-GaAs are of considerable technological relevance, e.g. for heterojunction bipolar transistors. The paper shows that such contacts can be effectively reacted through the InGaP layer and exhibit very good contact resistances (0.1 O mm) to the base layer if the thickness of the first Pt layer is properly matched to the thickness of the contacted InGaP layer. Interdiffusion and phase formation associated with the annealing processes are studied by cross-sectional analytical transmission electron microscopy, thin-film x-ray diffraction and Auger electron spectroscopy depth profiling. Thermal ageing experiments up to 400 °C show good electrical stability. Device related reliability tests do not show any degradation effect related to this novel base contact.
