Sputter deposited non-stoichiometric tantalum nitride films are oxidized in air between 200 and 500{degrees}C to form a passive film. The oxidized films have been studied with x-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES) and extended x-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (EXAFS). Films exposed to KOH formed a non-protective surface layer identified in low angle XANES and EXAFS as KTaO{sub 3}. Auger electron and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopies were also used to characterize these films.
