Abstract
The article is devoted to the investigation of surface erosion of ZrN/SiNx multilayer films irradiated with He ions (30 keV) and annealed in vacuum at 600 °C. It was found that multilayer ZrN/SiNx films remain resistant to blistering and flacking when irradiated with He ions (30 keV) up to a dose of 8∙1016 cm–2. The influence of the thickness of the crystalline and amorphous layer on the surface erosion nature and degree of multilayer films as a result of post-radiation annealing at 600 °C are revealed. The possible mechanisms of blistering and flexing in multilayer systems ZrN/SiNx are discussed in the work.
