Deposition of Niobium Nitride

Deposition of ScN can only be done by reactive sputtering using Nb target.

The primary tool for this application is the Cluster-Based, multi-chamber high-vacuum sputtering deposition system, commonly referred to as the 'Cluster Lesker.' The operating process is thoroughly documented and described in detail.:

• Deposition of Niobium Nitride (NbN) using reactive p-DC sputtering in Sputter-System Metal-Nitride(PC3) Source 2 (3-inch target)

At the moment (July 2025) we have a 3-inch Nb target (0.250" thick) for PC1 and PC3.
