Abstract

Ion beam mixing of thin oxide films, Cr2O3 and ZiO2, on sapphire substrates has been studied. The systems were chosen according to their solubilities in α-Al2O3: Cr2O3 is completely soluble, while ZrO2 is insoluble. Mixing experiments were performed on 50 nm-thick Cr2O3 and ZrO2 films deposited on αAl2O3 by radio frequency (rf) sputter deposition. The specimens were bombarded with Cr+ at an energy of 160 keV to a fluence of 4×1016 ions-cm−2. Implantations were performed at 25 and 860°C. Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy was performed to analyze any interface modifications due to the bombardment. No detectable mixing was observed in either system for irradiations performed at 25°C, but a small amount of ballistic mixing was observed in both systems at 860°C.
