| Abstract | The structural and acoustic properties of reactively sputtered aluminum nitride (AlN) on silicon have been characterized. The AlN films were grown on (100) silicon wafers, having a 200 nm thick layer of PECVD silicon nitride, at substrate temperatures in the 300/spl deg/C to 500/spl deg/C range, with a low background sputter pressure, and a high deposition rate. X-ray, atomic force microscopy and transmission electron microscopy measurements defined the structural properties. Surface acoustic wave (SAW) propagation measurements in the frequency range from 50 MHz to 1.5 GHz defined the acoustic properties. A strong correlation was found between the structural properties and the measured SAW velocity and propagation loss characteristics. One micrometer thick films with high intensity (002) plane x-ray diffraction intensities, closely packed uniform grains, approximately 30 nm in diameter, and a surface roughness less than 10 nm, had SAW velocity dispersion characteristics, coupling factors and propagation losses close to those of epitaxial AlN. Electron diffraction characteristics taken over several grains perpendicular to the columnar structure resembled a single crystal diffraction pattern. Deviation of the films structural properties from these epitaxial-like conditions was observed when more than one-half percent of oxygen was incorporated in the films. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
