Natural aging and annealing characteristics of sputter-deposited yttria

Description

The natural aging and annealing characteristics of cubic and amorphous yttria, sputter-deposited on fused silica, were studied. The experimental program consisted of determining and correlating changes in crystallography, microstructure, chemistry, and near-ultraviolet optical absorption resulting from annealing at 700 and 900C for times of up to 145.5 h. The results show that Si does not diffuse into the yttria film upon annealing. However, changes in film properties do occur and these changes are strongly dependent upon temperature and annealing atmosphere, air or argon. The results are discussed in terms of changes in Y-O bonding
