Abstract

A number of deposition techniques for cubic BN films from the vapor phase at low pressures have been proposed. We show that the essential factor for creating cubic BN films is a negative self-bias applied to the substrate. The optical and mechanical properties of the deposited films are characterized by reflectance and stress measurements, respectively.
