Reactively Sputtered Aluminum Oxynitride Deposited at Ambient Temperature: A Material Platform for Tunable Optical Applications
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The objective of this study is to assess the material system of Aluminum Oxynitride, deposited through a low-temperature reactively sputtered process, as a potential thin film material platform for tunable optical applications across a broad UV-NIR spectral region. A thorough design of experiment assessment of the compositional and optical properties of the thin films is carried out with respect to the deposition parameter space explored herein. The as-deposited films exhibit distinct relationships between the deposition parameters explored and the realized atomic compositions, extending from AlN on the one end to approaching the γ- and spinel- AlON. Moreover, the deposition parameters and compositions obtained correspond strongly to the calculated optical properties, which exhibit a maximum change in refractive index of Δn1550,720=0.4 and a Δn320=0.6. Supplemental electrical characterization was undertaken on samples deposited with and without oxygen, where improved ion interflow is observed in the oxygenated samples. The demonstrated experimental results suggest that the aluminum oxynitride material platform has the potential for broad-spectrum tunable photonic applications.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
