“…As the Ar gas pressure increases, the Ti concentration increases. This result qualitatively agrees with that reported by Bendahn et al 9) for an alloy target. The pressure dependence of the composition of sputtered films is often discussed in relation to the probability of sputtered atoms arriving at the substrate.…”

“…Introduction TiNi shape memory thin films are materials with a high potential for fabricating the microactuators and micropumps used in microelectromechanical systems because of the advantages of their large shape recovery force and strain. Hence, efforts have been made with TiNi thin films using rf sputtering techniques (Wolf and Heuer 1995, Bendahan et al 1996, Stemmer et al 1997, Miyazaki and Ishida 1999, Chen and Wu 1999, Matsunaga et al 2000, Wu et al 2001. Because the TiNi thin films are amorphous when initially deposited on to low-temperature substrates, thermal annealing is necessary for the crystallization of these films (Stemmer et al 1997, Chen and Wu 1999, Wu et al 2001.…”

“…The initial energy of ejecting atoms from the target depends mainly on their mass [13]. The energy loss is related to the transport process from target to substrate.…”
