Multilayered niobium oxynitride films were deposited onto (100) Si using DC magnetron sputtering with a reactive gas pulsing process. The argon and nitrogen flows were kept constant during sputtering of a pure niobium target and the oxygen flow was pulsed ...
An experimental thermal characterization method is developed for high thermal conductivity thin films. The method utilizes Ta/Pt resistors on microfabricated free-standing thin film structures both for heating and temperature monitoring at different positi ...

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a widely investigated material for its biological compatibility, high dielectric constant and refractive index, chemical and mechanical resistance, and catalytic activity. Several different techniques are available to produce TiO ...
This paper reports the impressive mechanical properties of 1 μm thick carbon-containing SiOx gas barrier coatings, characterised using the uniaxial fragmentation test. Such coatings have been found to act as excellent barriers to water vapour permeation pa ...
The deposition of particles and substances in air is under strong influence of the precipitation patterns of the atmosphere. Most multimedia models, like type III Mackay models, treat rain as a continuous phenomenon. This may cause severe overestimation of ...
DC reactive magnetron sputtering was used for the deposition of Zr–Si–N thin films. Four series of samples have been deposited at various substrate temperatures TS: 300 K, 510 K, 710 K and 910 K. Depending on TS, different N2 partial pressures pN2 were req ...
The invention relates to an effusing source for film deposition made of a reservoir comprising one hole characterized by the fact that the hole diameter is less than one order of magnitude than the mean free path of the molecules determined by the pressure ...
Titanium aluminium nitride (TiAlN)-based coatings are designed specially for applications where oxidation and wear resistance are primary demands, as in the case of cutting tools. Moreover the coatings are required to be thermally stable as well as have go ...
Plasma spraying is a well developed and widely used technology, successfully applied for ceramic and metal coatings in many fields of applications such as aeronautics, gas turbine, automotive or medical. The coatings obtained are usually intentionally poro ...
Research on silicon oxide thin films developed as gas-barrier protection for polymer-based components is reviewed, with attention paid to the relations between (i) coating defects, cohesive strength and internal stress state, and (ii) interfacial interacti ...
