Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of scandium content on structure and piezoelectric properties of AlScN films deposited by reactive pulse magnetron sputtering
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that up to up to 43% scandium concentration the wurtzite structure becomes more and more disordered and the c/a ratio is decreased from 1.6 to 1.27.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetron sputtering of piezoelectric AlN and AlScN thin films and their use in energy harvesting applications
Stephan Barth,Hagen Bartzsch,Daniel Glöβ,Peter Frach,Thomas Modes,Olaf Zywitzki,Gunnar Suchaneck,Gerald Gerlach +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of doping AlN with Sc regarding piezoelectric and mechanical properties is presented, showing that Sc doping allows a significant increase in the energy generated in the test setup.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sputter deposition of stress-controlled piezoelectric AlN and AlScN films for ultrasonic and energy harvesting applications.
Stephan Barth,Hagen Bartzsch,Daniel Gloess,Peter Frach,Thomas Herzog,Susan Walter,Henning Heuer +6 more
TL;DR: This paper will report on the deposition and characterization of piezoelectric AlN and AlxSc1-xN layers and the pulse echo method was used to demonstrate the potential in ultrasonic applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adjustment of plasma properties in magnetron sputtering by pulsed powering in unipolar/bipolar hybrid pulse mode
TL;DR: In this article, a hybrid pulse mode is proposed for the magnetron discharge using a pulsed switching of the anode, which allows varying the average plasma parameters freely between the typical values of unipolar and bipolar pulse modes.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Energy harvesting based on piezoelectric AlN and AlScN thin films deposited by high rate sputtering
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of process parameters and Sc concentration on film properties were determined by piezometer, pulse echo, SEM, XRD, EDS and nanoindentation measurements.
