Transformation behavior of TiNi SMA films sputter-deposited on Si(001) and polyimide substrates was observed. An RF magnetron sputtering apparatus equipped with four separate confocal sources as well as with a heating and ion-irradiating system for substrates was used to make the films crystalline. Without using the system, the films deposited on ambient-temperature substrate have been amorphous. However, crystallized film is deposited even at 473 K of substrate temperature applying pulse bias voltage to the substrate. Shape memory effect of the crystallized film which was sputter-deposited on a polyimide sheet of 0.025 mm in thickness was observed. From the relationship between the normalized curvature of film and temperature, it was recognized that the start and finish temperatures of shape changes were 329 K and 399 K on heating process, respectively. While on cooling process, its reverse shape changes were observed. The shape was recovered to the original curvature at about 315 K.
