Abstract
Hexagonal aluminium nitride thin films have been prepared on Si(100) by suspension coating pyrolytic method using a new
single organo metallic precursor - dichlorophenyl amido aluminium (DCPAA) at temperatures 650 0C and 950 0C. XRD
studies have shown decrease of peak intensities of hexagonal aluminium nitride at 2θ = 38.3 0 diffracted from (0002) crystal
plane, at 2θ = 44.5 0 diffracted from (1011) crystal plane and a comparative decrease at 2θ=68.2 0 diffracted from (1120)
crystal plane with increase of temperature. SEM studies have shown a smooth crystalline nature of AlN at 6500 C but nonuniform
crystalline nature at 9500 C.
