Multipactor suppressing titanium nitride thin films analyzed through XPS and AES

Cathodic-magnetron-deposited titanium nitride films were grown on anodized aluminum substrates and studied via AES and XPS spectro-scopies to determine their depth-dependence composition. As it is well known, the native oxide grown on aluminum does not make the substrate impervious to radio frequency damage, and typically a thin film coating is needed to suppress substrate damage. In this article we present the profile composition of titanium nitride films, used as a protective coating for aluminum, that underwent prior conditioning through anodization, observed after successive sputtering stages.
