Description

On the basis of the preceding papers about Cr-nitride formation with N+ implantation, our work is focused on some special details about the mechanism of the phase transformation during N+ implantation. Through analyzing the lattice transformation matrix and considering the diffusion effect within the implanted layer, three models of phase-transformation have been proposed. Cr-nitride is formed in the implanted layer, and the layer-state phase of Cr-nitride is due to the selective growth of the new phase related to the lattice expanding and diffusion effect. It is supported by the analysis by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). By means of high-resolution TEM (HRTEM), the layer-state phase of Cr-nitride formed by N+ implantation was observed directly. (Author)
