Abstract
The deposition of nanocrystalline tungsten carbide films was reported. The surface morphology, crystalline structure, internal stress, hardness and Young's modulus of the films were strongly dependent on the substrate bias. The high density and strain caused by the lattice mismatch between the different phases contributed to the highest internal stress, hardness and Young's modulus for the films deposited at a substrate bias of 200 V.
