Abstract

In this paper, the results of investigation of the influence of cathode current on optical and dielectric AlNx thin-film properties are presented. AlNx films were prepared by pulsed DC reactive magnetron sputtering of Al target on substrates at room temperature. For characterization of fabricated test structures C-V spectroscopy, ellipsometry measurement and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used.
