摘要
Superlattices of TiC/VC have been deposited on MgO(001) substrates by simultaneous direct current metal magnetron sputtering and C-60 evaporation in the temperature range 200-800 degreesC. Thin superlattices (approximately 1000 Angstrom) deposited at 400 degreesC exhibited an epitaxial growth with abrupt interfaces while films deposited at 200 degreesC showed a partial loss of epitaxy. At 800 degreesC roughening by surface diffusion started to degrade the superlattices and introduced a columnar microstructure. A loss of epitaxy was observed for thicker (> 7000 Angstrom) superlattice films deposited at 400 degreesC. The results suggest that this observation is due to difficulties in depositing epitaxial VC.
