Abstract:
A three-step technique has been developed to grow high quality cubic boron nitride (c-BN) films by RF magnetron sputtering on p-type Si(111) substrate. Possible reason responsible for the low reproducibility of the film, synthesized by conventional two-step growth, was tentatively discussed. An extra step, turning turbostratic boron nitride (t-BN) into rhombohedral boron nitride, was done before the two-stop growth, that is, nucleation experiences two steps. Consequently, the reproducibility of the film considerably increases. The films were characterized with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results show that c-BN films with cubic phase content being 85% were grown at a bias of 180 V in the first step lasting for 5 minutes.
