Abstract
A layer of separate TiN particles was fabricated and temperature pulsed in order to determine whether the short lasting intense heat of the deposited clusters can lead to their sintering. It was found that a specific sintering process is inseparably involved in the process of crystallization of the layer from the pulse plasma. The pulse heating also causes an increase in the adhesion of the layer to the substrate.
