Oxidation and hydrolysis are two spontaneous reactions occurring when scandium nitride (ScN) is exposed to air (oxygen and humidity). In order to evaluate the detrimental effect of the oxidation on functional properties of the material, ScN films were prepared under ultrahigh vacuum conditions at 700 °C onto two different substrates, crystalline MgO(0 0 1) and amorphous fused silica. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy analysis was performed to study the oxidation reactions. The study also employed vacuum transferred pristine samples. Crystalline quality and oxidation resistance were found to be strongly correlated. Degradation of electrical and optical properties was observed for polycristalline films prepared on fused silica.
