Abstract

A systematic investigation on the effects of the bias voltage on the corrosion properties and interfacial structure of TiN films was carried out. It was shown that the bias voltage has a critical influence on the interfacial structure and corrosion resistance of titanium nitride layers fabricated using dynamic PIII-D. It was found that the existence of microdefects in the layer does not change the pitting potential. Auger results show that high-energy ion bombardment in the dynamic PIII-D process alters the chemical structure of the interface. Based on SEM results, the sample treated at the lowest voltage, 8 kV, possesses the best corrosion resistance.
