Conclusions
The optimum temperature range for nitriding thin molybdenum films is 923 to 1023°K for a nitriding time of no more than 12 min.
The resistance temperature coefficient for nitrided molybdenum films is one to two orders of magnitude lower than for the original film values.
Nitrided molybdenum films are superconductors with a critical transition temperature Tc = 7.4°K for Mo2N and 13.8°K for MoN. These films are promising for the production of noiseless interconnections for integrated circuits.
