The study investigated various ultrathin niobium nitride films that differed in the type of substrate, presence of a buffer layer, surface oxidation time and rate, and ion beam impact. Depth profiling of ultrathin niobium nitride films was carried out by a non-destructive method for chemical and phase depth profiling using (or based on) X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The study has shown that a layer with a modified niobium nitride phase was formed under the oxide layer during atmospheric oxidation of ultrathin niobium nitride film; a 1 nm interface layer was formed when niobium nitride ultrathin film was deposited on an oxidized silicon substrate by magnetron sputtering; no interface layer was formed when ultrathin niobium nitride film was deposited onto a sapphire substrate; oxide layer thickness and phase composition depended on the niobium nitride film oxidation time and rate; not only the NbN film thickness, but also the phase composition of changed under the action of ion beam evaporation. Keywords: niobium nitride, ultrathin films, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, chemical phase depth profiling.
