Abstract
ratio reaches a maximum with a negligible graphitisation effect, resulting in an improvement of the thermal stability by up to 20% while the bulk Young's modulus increases by about 30%. These results provide a guide to experimentalists and engineers to further tailor the growth conditions of BN-based compounds as non-conductive diffusion barriers and ultralow dielectric coefficient materials for a number of applications including interconnect technology.
