TLDR
In this article, the crystal structure of tantalum nitrides was examined by X-ray and electron diffraction techniques and the following seven phases were identified: TaN~0.05 (cubic, β-phase), Ta2N (hexagonal, γ-phase, δ-TaN(hexagonal), e-TaNs (hexagon), Ta5N6, Ta4N5, and Ta3N5 (tetragonal or monoclinic).
Abstract
The crystal structure of tantalum nitrides is examined by X-ray and electron diffraction techniques and the following seven phases are identified: TaN~0.05 (cubic, β-phase), Ta2N (hexagonal, γ-phase), δ-TaN (hexagonal), e-TaN (hexagonal), Ta5N6 (hexagonal), Ta4N5 (tetragonal) and Ta3N5 (tetragonal or monoclinic). Thin films of Ta nitrides for electron diffraction study were prepared by nitriding thin evaporated films of tantalum in ammonia and nitrogen. By heating thin films of Ta3N5 in vacuum, the phase transformations occur successively as follows: Ta3N5→Ta4N5→Ta5N6→e-TaN→Ta2N. The stucture of each nitride form is discussed.

Effects of Nitrogen, Methane, and Oxygen on Structure and Electrical Properties of Thin Tantalum Films

TL;DR: In this article, an investigation was made of tantalum films sputtered in argon containing individual small amounts of nitrogen, methane, and oxygen, and it was shown that the nitrides and carbide have specific resistivities from 200-300×10−6 Ω cm, and temperature coefficients between +3×10 −4 and −2×10 -4 deg−1.
