The synthesis of fiber‐textured Ti 2 AlN(0001) films on SiO 2 was characterized by in‐situ and ex‐situ X‐ray scattering and Rutherford backscattering spectrometry. Ti 2 AlN was formed by solid‐state reaction between sequentially deposited Ti and AlN layers. A deposition at 275 °C yields a Ti(0001) out‐of‐plane orientation which is maintained for the following AlN(0001)/Ti(0001) layers. Annealing to 600 °C yields AlN decomposition and diffusion of Al and N into Ti, with consecutive transformation into Ti 3 AlN(111) and Ti 2 AlN(0001) plus AlN residuals. Despite preferred Ti 2 AlN(0001) out‐of‐plane orientation, the in‐plane distribution is random, as expected from the self‐organized pseudo‐epitaxial growth. (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
