The infiltration behavior of compacts of SiC particles in two surface conditions, as-received and thermally oxidized, was investigated by using pure Al and Al-12wt%Si as infiltrating metals. Analysis of the threshold pressure for infiltration revealed that the process is governed by the same contact angle for all different systems, no matter the metal or particle condition. This leads to the conclusion that oxidation does not modify the wetting characteristics of the particles, most probably because they are already covered by a thin native oxide layer that remains unaltered in processing routes involving short contact times and low temperatures, such as actual conditions of pressure infiltration at 700 °C.

AbstractDetailed computer modelling using finite-element analysis was performed for Si p-n junctions to investigate the effects of surface states and doping concentrations on surface band-bending, surface junction potentials and external patch fields. The density of surface states was determined for our Si specimens with a native oxide layer. Our calculations show that for a typical density of surface states for a Si specimen with a native oxide layer, the effects of external patch fields are negligible and the SE doping contrast is due to the built-in voltage across the p-n junction modified by surface band-bending. There is a good agreement between the experimental doping contrast and the calculated junction potential just below the surface, taking into account surface states, for a wide range of doping concentrations.

Amorphous Oxide Layer

Localized corrosion constitutes a major concern in medical devices made of stainless steel. The conventional approach to circumvent such a problem is to convert the surface polycrystalline microstructure of the native oxide layer to an amorphous oxide layer, a few micrometers thick. This process cannot, however, be used for devices such as stents that undergo plastic deformation during their implantation, especially those used in vascular surgery for the treatment of cardiac, neurological, and peripheral vessels. This work explores the feasibility of producing a nano-thick plastic-deformation resistant amorphous oxide layer by plasma-based surface modifications. By varying the plasma process parameters, oxide layers with different features were produced and their properties were investigated before and after clinically-relevant plastic deformation. These properties and the related corrosion mechanisms were mainly evaluated using the electrochemical methods of open-circuit potential, cyclic potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Results showed that, under optimal conditions, the resistance to corrosion and to the permeation of ions in a phosphate buffered saline, even after deformation, was significantly enhanced.

AbstractVarious conditions of passivation of the GaSb(100) surface by ammonium sulfide ((NH_4)_2S) solutions depending on the solution concentration, solvent, and treatment time are investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and atomic-force microscopy. It is shown that treatment of the GaSb(100) surface by any (NH_4)_2S solution leads to removal of the native oxide layer from the semiconductor surface and the formation of a passivating layer consisting of various gallium and antimony sulfides and oxides. The surface with the lowest roughness (RMS = 0.85 nm) is formed after semiconductor treatment with 4% aqueous ammonium sulfide solution for 30 min. Herewith, the atomic concentration ratio Ga/Sb at the surface is ~2. It is also found that aqueous ammonium sulfide solutions do not react with elemental antimony incorporated into the native-oxide layer. The latter causes a leakage current and Fermi-level pinning at the GaSb(100) surface. However, a 4% (NH_4)_2S solution in isopropanol removes elemental antimony almost completely; herewith, the semiconductor surface remains stoichiometric if a treatment duration is up to 13 min.
