چکیده

Sputtering is a Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) vacuum process used to deposit very thin films onto a substrate for a wide variety of commercial and scientific purposes. Due to this coating process the material performance will be improved. The objective of this study is to evaluate the hardness of titanium nitride thin film layers by utilizing multi layer perceptron (MLP) artificial neural networks (ANN). For determining the influences of the various sputtering parameters (voltage, work pressure, ion bombard time and Sub-layer temperature) on the hardness of TiN thin films, the Taguchi approach has been used. 50 experiments were performed, varying the PVD parameters and the resulting hardness of the film was measured. From these experiments 42 were used for the training process and 8 have been utilized for validation process. A very good agreement between the ANN predictions and the experimental results was achieved, with a 99.754% correlation between the trained ANN result and the experimental measurements.

اطلاعات بیشتر در مورد COI

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.

کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
