Three-dimensional kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of cubic transition metal nitride thin film growth
TL;DR: In this paper, a three-dimensional kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) model was developed and used to simulate the microstructure and growth morphology of cubic transition metal nitride (TMN) thin films deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering.
Study of columnar growth, texture development and wettability of reactively sputter-deposited TiN, ZrN and HfN thin films at glancing angle incidence
TL;DR: In this paper, the growth morphology and variation in column tilt angle is well reproduced by considering the difference in the angular distribution of the sputtered particles, and the wettability of these coatings was investigated using the sessile drop method with three different liquids.
Texture and Stress Evolution in HfN Films Sputter-Deposited at Oblique Angles
TL;DR: In this paper, column tilt angle, texture development and residual stress evolution of polycrystalline hafnium nitride (HfN) thin films with varying inclination angle α of the substrate was investigated.

Ti, Al and N adatom adsorption and diffusion on rocksalt cubic AlN (001) and (011) surfaces: Ab initio calculations
TL;DR: In this article, the potential energy landscape for both metallic species and nitrogen adatoms for two different AlN surface orientations, (001) and (110), using density functional theory.

Impact of Ge alloying on the early growth stages, microstructure and stress evolution of sputter-deposited Cu-Ge thin films
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of Ge alloying on the growth morphology and intrinsic stress evolution during deposition of Cu thin films is investigated using in situ and real-time diagnostics, complemented by ex situ microstructural characterizations.
