Abstract
To investigate the influence of temperature on the TiN film, it was deposited on the STC-3 steel and Si-wafer from $TiCl_4/N_2/H_2$ gas mixture by using the radio frequency plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition. The deposition was performed at temperature of $400^{\circ}C-500^{\circ}C$. The results showed that crystalline TiN film was deposited over $480^{\circ}C$, and all specimens showed the crystalline TiN X-ray diffraction peaks after vacuum heat treatment for 3 hrs, at $1000^{\circ}C$, $10^{-5}torr$. While the film thickness was increased above $480^{\circ}C$, it was decreased under $480^{\circ}C$ as temperature increased. And the contents of titanium were increased and it of chlorine were decreased as temperature increased. Because temperature increase was attributed to the increase in the density of TiN film, surface hardness of TiN film was increased with temperature.
