FIG. 5. Effect of bias voltage V B on x-ray elastic constant of the CrN films.
V. DISCUSSION
At low negative bias voltage (V B100 V), the chromium ions created at the target arrive at the substrate with
low energy because they cannot be accelerated between the
target and the substrate. At high negative bias voltage (V B
300 V), the ions accelerated between the target and the
substrate arrive at the substrate with high energy, and hence
with high mobility, facilitating crystal growth. As a result,
the intensity of 220 diffraction for the film deposited at V B
100 V was smaller than that for the film deposited at
V B300 V.
