Thin films of Ti1−xAlxN nitrides were prepared over a large range of composition (0 ≤ x < 1) on Si substrates using nitrogen reactive magnetron sputtering from composite metallic targets. Ti K-edge X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy experiments were carried for a better understanding of the local structure. The evolution of the intensity of Ti K-edge pre-edge peak gives evidence of the incorporation of Ti in hexagonal lattice of AlN for Al-rich films and in cubic lattice of TiN for Ti-rich films. An attempt to determine their atomic structure by combining X-ray diffraction and Ti K-edge Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure is presented. The evolution of the nearest neighbour and next-nearest neighbour distances depending on the composition is presented and discussed together the cubic and hexagonal lattice parameters. A possible contribution of amorphous nitrides is suggested.
