Abstract
AlN films have been deposited by direct current reactive magnetron sputtering using optical emission spectroscopy to control reactive gas (nitrogen) flow. For nitrogen to argon flow ratio between 1:2.5 and 1:2, we have deposited transparent films of aluminium nitride with relatively high deposition rates in the range of 0.3-0.7 nm/s. At the highest deposition rate, we observed the influence of metallic aluminium admixture on the optical properties of films. Free aluminium fraction decreases with increasing substrate temperature during deposition.
