Someone has worked with Si3N4 thin films deposited by Pulsed Laser Deposition(PLD) to give me some informations and/or references? I've tried many times in different conditions/parameters (like temperature, atm. pressure, frequency and laser energy), but nothing has shown crystalline orientation under STO, Sapphire or Si substrates. Also, the hard material like this has been actually poorly ablated with KrF laser at least 180 mJ with 10 Hz. Any comments or suggestions, I'll be thankful.
