That will be used as diffusion barriers in integrated circuits capable of handling higher temperature without intermixing of Si and Cu. This will greatly enhance the life and working temperature range of IC’s. Nano films of tungsten nitride are formed using a Mather type dense plasma focus device on the silicon substrate and varied number of shots. Different number of shots i.e. 10, 20, 30 and 40 are employed and the effect of this variation in number of shots on crystalline arrangement and crystalline shape is studied. The XRD data of the irradiated substrate indicated the presence of different phases of WN and WN2, the number of shots determine that which phase will be dominant. The SEM micrographs revealed a uniform distribution of grains all over the substrate ER -
