Abstract

In recent years, the tantalum nitride(TaN) thin-film has been developed for the electronic resistor, inductor and capacitor. In this papers, this study presents the surface profile and sheet-resistance property relationship of reactive-sputtered TaN thin film resistor processed by TaN(tantalum nitride) on alumina substrate. The TCR properties of the TaN films were discussed in terms of crystallization and thin films surface morphology due to annealing temperature. It is clear that the TaN thin-films resistor electrical properties are low TCR related with it's annealing temperature and ambient annealing condition. Respectively, at $300{\sim}400^{\circ}C$ on vacuum and nitrogen annealed thin film resistor having a goof thermal stability and lower TCR properties then as deposited thin films expected for the application to the dielectric material of passive component.
