Abstract
TiNi shape memory alloy(SMA) was fabricated by PLD(plused laser deposition) using equiatomic TiNi target. Composition and crystallization of TiNi thin films which were fabricated in ambient Ar gas(200m Torr)and vacuum($5{\times}10^{-6}\;Torr$) were investigated. Composition of TiNi thin films was characterized by energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDXS) and crystallization was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The composition of films depends on the distance between target and substrate but does not sensitively depend on the substrate temperature. It is found that the composition of films can be easily controlled when substrate is placed inside plume in ambient Ar gas. It is also found that the in situ crystallization temperature ($ca.\;400^{\circ}C$) in ambient Ar gas is lowered in comparison with that of TiNi film prepared under vacuum. The low crystallization temperature in ambient Ar gas makes it possible to prepare the crystalline TiNi thin film without contamination.
