Pulsed DC Sputter Deposition of Stable Turbostratic Boron Nitride Thin Films
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Boron nitride (BN) films are deposited by sputtering from a boron target. During deposition, a substrate bias voltage is applied between the plasma and the sample, which reduces excess boron in the film and enhances the crystallinity. This process prevents the formation of boric acid and ammonium borate hydrate.
