This book was released on 2012 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hydrogenated amorphous silicon-germanium alloy thin films (a-Si1-xGex:H) were deposited using reactive magnetron sputtering. Dual targets of silicon and germanium were sputtered in an argon + hydrogen atmosphere using RF excitation. Films with x = 0.4 were deposited as a function of substrate temperature and hydrogen partial pressure, and were evaluated by dark and photoconductivity, infrared absorption, and optical transmission. Photosensitivity reached a maximum value of about 4500 between 150 and 200°C. Using the stretching modes in the region of 2000 cm-1, the hydrogen bonding was characterized in terms of the preferential attachment ratio (PA), which represents the ratio between H bonded to Si and H bonded to Ge. The PA shows a systematic increase with increasing temperature, generally independent of hydrogen partial pressure. The interplay between thermodynamic and kinetics effects in determining PA and film quality is discussed.

Book Synopsis Heteroepitaxial Growth of Silicon and Germanium Thin Films on Flexible Metal Substrate by Magnetron Sputtering by : Renjie Wang
Download or read book Heteroepitaxial Growth of Silicon and Germanium Thin Films on Flexible Metal Substrate by Magnetron Sputtering written by Renjie Wang and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High mobility single-crystalline-like Ge thin films have been demonstrated on inexpensive polycrystalline metallic substrates buffered with oxide buffer layer. Doped films of p-type and n-type were fabricated using radio frequency magnetron sputtering on flexible epitaxial templates produced by ion beam assisted deposition (IBAD). Ideal conditions for fabricating p-type and n-type Ge thin films have been optimized based on their structure and Hall mobility. As defect density in Ge is directly related to the CeO2 buffer, the effect of CeO2 layer thickness and quality has been evaluated. A structural design of a p-i-n junction is proposed for solar cells on our flexible substrate based on electrical and crystal properties of Si and Ge thin films fabricated. In order to achieve an efficient harvesting of photo-generated free carriers, fabrication of substrates terminated with epitaxial conductive layers is studied.

This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent years have witnessed the flourishing of numerous novel strategies based on the magnetron sputtering technique aimed at the advanced engineering of thin films, such as HiPIMS, combined vacuum processes, the implementation of complex precursor gases or the inclusion of particle guns in the reactor, among others. At the forefront of these approaches, investigations focused on nanostructured coatings appear today as one of the priorities in many scientific and technological communities: The science behind them appears in most of the cases as a "terra incognita", fascinating both the fundamentalist, who imagines new concepts, and the experimenter, who is able to create and study new films with as of yet unprecedented performances. These scientific and technological challenges, along with the existence of numerous scientific issues that have yet to be clarified in classical magnetron sputtering depositions (e.g., process control and stability, nanostructuration mechanisms, connection between film morphology and properties or upscaling procedures from the laboratory to industrial scales) have motivated us to edit a specialized volume containing the state-of-the art that put together these innovative fundamental and applied research topics. These include, but are not limited to: • Nanostructure-related properties; • Atomistic processes during film growth; • Process control, process stability, and in situ diagnostics; • Fundamentals and applications of HiPIMS; • Thin film nanostructuration phenomena; • Tribological, anticorrosion, and mechanical properties; • Combined procedures based on the magnetron sputtering technique; • Industrial applications; • Devices.

Book Synopsis Growth and Properties of Hydrogenated Amorphous Silicon Carbon Alloys by Dc Reactive Magnetron Sputtering by : Siyuan Yang
Download or read book Growth and Properties of Hydrogenated Amorphous Silicon Carbon Alloys by Dc Reactive Magnetron Sputtering written by Siyuan Yang and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We deposited amorphous hydrogenated silicon-carbon (a-Si$rmsb{1-x}Csb{x}$:H) alloy films by dc reactive magnetron sputtering (RMS) of a silicon target in a plasma of (Ar + H$rmsb2$ + CH$sb4).$ Films with optical bandgaps of 1.8-2.0 eV and x $le$ 0.2 have a compact microstructure; no CH$rmsb{x}$ groups are detected by their stretching mode infrared absorption, and small angle X-ray scattering indicates a microvoid volume of $le$2.5% for x $le$ 0.3. The electronic properties are also excellent in terms of density of sub-bandgap defect states DOS, Urbach energy E$rmsb{U},$ ambipolar diffusion length L$rmsb{h},$ photoconductive mobility-lifetime product $mutau$ and dark conductivity $rmsigmasb{D}$ for Tauc bandgap E$rmsb{g}approx$ 1.90 eV. We attribute the quality of these films to the translational energy of the RMS growth flux, which leads to a dense and relatively homogeneous structure. Substrate cleaning and ion bombardment play important roles in the adhesion, morphology and structure of hydrogenated amorphous silicon and silicon-carbon alloys grown on c-Si by dc reactive magnetron sputtering. Scanning electron microscopy is used to study the surface morphology and fracture cross section of films. The hydrogen bonding and microstructure are studied by IR absorption, thermal evolution of hydrogen. The best adhesion is obtained by (i) cleaning the substrate with combination of cycles of UV/ozone oxidation and HF etching and by (ii) reducing plasma ion bombardment through electrically floating the c-Si substrate. The reduced ion bombardment has a significant influence on the hydrogen bonding configurations and hydrogen evolution process. The film composition is a function of the substrate temperature, growth rate, and the partial pressures of methane and hydrogen. We show which combination of parameters leads to the best film properties, and provide empirical evidence for the mechanisms of C and H incorporation. We then use the compositional control provided by RMS to resolve several long standing debates in the literature. (i) We deposit films of constant composition from 150 to 310$spcirc$C, and find that higher substrate temperature yields the best electronic properties. (ii) The hydrogen content is primarily responsible for the bandgap increase. (iii) Carbon incorporation with x $le$ 0.3 suppresses microvoid formation in sputtered material. (iv) The relative intensity of SiH$rmsb{x}$ to SiH stretching mode absorptions (the IR microstructure factor) and the amount of microvoids is not monotonically correlated with the photoconductive mobility-lifetime product. Considering the influence of film compositions on microstructure observed in this study, we propose that similar compositions should be the premise before the comparison of microstructure difference and the study of its influence on electronic properties. Our results indicate that reactive magnetron sputtering is an excellent and industrially suitable technique for the deposition of electronic-grade a-Si$rmsb{1-x}Csb{x}$:H thin films.

Book excerpt: The primary objective of the research is to improve the understanding at the microscopic level of amorphous silicon and germanium film structures deposited under various methods. The work is to correlate and theoretically analyze, nuclear magnetic resonance, NMR, ESR, electron spin resonance, and other measurements. The alloys of concern include those obtained by adding dopants to hydrogenated silicon and germanium. The work has been directed to continue deuteron magnetic resonance DMR studies and to pay particulate attention to those structural features which may correlate with the photoelectronic properties of the material. The 1990 (DMR) accomplishments have included correlation of inhomogeneous nuclear spin relaxation with photovoltaic quality. In a second project, a structural rearrangement of atoms has been demonstrated to be associated with the light-induced metastability in a-Si:D, H films. A third approach has employed proton-deuteron coupled spin dynamics to examine hydrogen and deuterium motions in quality films of a-Si:H; a-Si:P, H; and a-Si:D, H. The B- P-doped films show a significantly enhanced hydrogen mobility above 200 K. We also have performed a number of detailed calculations on the effects coordination and strain on the deep electronic states rising from B and P dopants in a-Si as well as the band tail states in the gap of a-Si arising from strained bonds. This work gives a rather complete picture of the effects on the gap states of strain and dopants in the absence of H and for a given configuration of the a-Si network. We conclude that the methods that we have developed over the past three years are capable of describing many of the effects of strained bonds, especially their effect on dopants. 25 refs., 11 figs., 3 tabs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present, richly illustrated book takes the reader on a tour through the field of modern spintronics, discussing key aspects such as ferromagnetic thin films, dilute magnetic semiconductors, and magnetic tunnel junctions. It demonstrates different approaches to a detailed understanding of magnetism and materials properties on the atomic scale, as required by the ongoing miniaturization of electronics. Due to their technological relevance, the focus lies on silicon and different transition metals like chromium, manganese, and iron. Among others, the following questions are addressed from the viewpoint of state-of-the-art computational physics: Is the scanning tunneling microscope capable of resolving even complex film atomic structures? How can we use its spin-sensitive form to gain insight into interactions of magnetic impurities in bulk semiconductors? Why is chromium-doped silicon especially interesting? Does one need a Seebeck coefficient to obtain spincaloric properties ab initio?
