Abstract

Aluminum nitride(AlN) thin films were deposited on silicon substrates using RF magnetron sputtering at various deposition conditions and investigated the characteristics. It was used XRD, AES, SEM, and HP-4145B semiconductor parameter analyzer to analysis deposited AlN thin films. The deposition conditions for the good c-axis orientation were 100 W of RF power, $200^{\circ}C$ of substrate temperature and 15 mTorr of working pressure. The leakage current density was less then $1.3{\times}10^{-7}A/cm^{2}$. And it was also investigated the etching properties of deposited AlN thin films for application.
