    Notes: We present a study of the micro-structural changes induced in Cr-N layers by irradiationwith argon ions. The layers were deposited by reactive ion sputtering on (100) Si wafers, to athickness of 240-280 nm, at different nitrogen partial pressures and different substrate temperatures.The samples were subsequently irradiated with 120 keV Ar+, to 1x1015 and 1x1016 ions/cm2.Structural characterization was performed with Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy, x-raydiffraction analysis and transmission electron microscopy, and we also did electrical resistivitymeasurements on the samples. It has been found that the layers grow in the form of a polycrystallinecolumnar structure, with a columnar width of a few tens of nm. The layer composition, Cr2N orCrN, strongly depends on the nitrogen partial pressure during deposition. Ion irradiation induceslocal micro-structural changes, formation of nano-particles and defects, though the structures retaintheir polycrystalline nature. The induced crystalline defects yield an increase of electrical resistivityafter ion irradiation

    Notes: In this paper we present a study of the formation of TiN thin films during the IBADprocess. We have analyzed the effects of process parameters such as Ar+ ion energy, ion incidentangle, Ti evaporation rates and partial pressure of N2 on preferred orientation and resistivity of TiNlayers. TiN thin films were grown by evaporation of Ti in the presence of N2 and simultaneouslybombarded with Ar+ ions. Base pressure in the IBAD chamber was 1⋅10-6 mbar. The partial pressureof Ar during deposition was (3.1 – 6.6)⋅10-6 mbar and partial pressure of N2 was 6.0⋅10-6 -1.1⋅10-5 mbar. The substrates used were Si (100) wafers. TiN thin layers were deposited to athickness of 85 – 360 nm at deposition rates of Ti from 0.05 to 0.25nm/s. Argon ion energy wasvaried from 1.5 to 2.0 keV and the angle of ion beam incidence from 0 to 30o. All samples wereanalyzed by Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS). The changes in concentration profilesof titanium, nitrogen and silicon were determined with 900 keV He++ ion beam. The RBS spectrawere analyzed with the demo version of WiNDF code. We have also used X-ray diffraction (XRD)for phase identification. The resistivity of samples was measured with four-point probe method. Theresults clearly show that TiN thin layer grows with (111) and (200) preferred orientation, dependingon the IBAD deposition parameters. Consequently, the formation of TiN thin layers with wellcontrolledcrystalline orientation occurs. Also, it was found that the variations in TiN film resistivitycould be mainly attributed to the ion beam induced damage during the IBAD process
