AbstractThe transformation of silicon oxide thin films at room-temperature by UV-photons provided by a Xe2* incoherent excimer lamp (λ = 172 nm, Δλ = 14 nm) was studied. Films were produced at low-temperature (T = 260 °C) by ArF laser-induced CVD (LCVD) in parallel configuration from a silane/nitrous oxide/argon gas mixture. The silicon oxide films were irradiated in several consecutive steps to follow-up the modifications with the illumination time. Rutherford backscattering (RBS), infrared (IR) and X-ray photoelectron (XPS) spectroscopies, ellipsometry, and elastic recoil detection analysis (ERDA) were used to characterize the effects of the irradiation on the structure, composition, density, and hydrogen content.Under the UV illumination the as-deposited film evolves from a suboxide film (SiO1.6) to a stoichiometric silicon dioxide (SiO2), and its originally strained structure changes towards a relaxed tetrahedral configuration. The UV irradiation is able to anneal at room temperature the silicon oxide films breaking the Si-H bonds and incorporating new SiO and hydroxyl groups in a relaxed network. The hydrogen does not effuse out, but remains in the film as molecular hydrogen and/or forming silanol or water groups.

ABSTRACTLaser pulsed sputtering of GeO2 targets in both vacuum and oxygen environments is us;ed to produce germanium oxide thin films. Infrared transmission and Auger electron spectroscopies are employed to infer compositional information on the films. The films grown in vacuum are oxygen deficient and they show a radial variation in the metal to oxide content. In contrast, the films grown in an oxygen atmosphere appear stoichiometric along the entire film.
