AbstractBarium strontium titanate (BST) thin films were grown directly on Si substrates by an in situ ultraviolet (UV)-assisted pulsed laser deposition (UVPLD) technique. With respect to films grown by conventional (i.e. without UV illumination) pulsed laser deposition (PLD), the UVPLD grown films exhibited improved structural and electrical properties. The dielectric constant of a 40-nm thick film deposited at 650 °C was determined to be 281, the leakage current density was approximately 4×10−8 A/cm2at 100 kV/cm, and the density of interface states at the flat-band voltage was found to be approximately 5.6×1011 eV−1 cm−2 X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy investigations found that the surface of the grown films exhibited an additional Ba-containing phase, besides the usual BST perovskite phase, which was likely caused by stress and/or oxygen vacancies. The amount of this new phase was always smaller and very superficial for UVPLD grown films, which can explain their better overall properties.

ABSTRACTStructural and electronic transport properties of polycrystalline ZnO thin films, prepared by pulsed laser deposition, have been investigated. The films were deposited on glass and Si3N4/Si substrates using O2 and N2 atmospheres. X-ray analysis revealed preferential c-axis orientation perpendicular to the sample substrate. Films deposited under relatively high O2 pressure were highly resistive. However, the conductivity σ increased while the films were irradiated with ultraviolet light, showing an Arrhenius (In σ ∝ T-1) dependence as a function of temperature. The ZnO film deposited in N2 atmosphere exhibited at room temperature a resistivity ∼ 1 Ω cm, and a sheet carrier concentration ∼ 5 1012 cm-2. The variation of the conductivity with temperature, in the range 60 – 150 K, follows a In σ ∝ T-1/4 dependence characteristic of variable range hopping. An analysis of the experimental results of conductivity as a function of temperature, in terms of possible doping effects, as well as conduction mechanisms is presented.

AbstractWe describe recent experiments in which we attempted the initial steps for fabricating twodimensional arrays of metal nanocrystals. We use a commercial pulsed-laser deposition system in concert with a focused ion beam to attempt control over both lateral and vertical dimensions at the nanometer length scale. In our experiments, regular arrays of holes typically 80 nm in diameter were drilled in Si substrates using the focused ion beam. Silver atoms were then deposited onto these substrates by pulsed laser evaporation from a metallic target in high vacuum. Under certain conditions of substrate temperature, laser pulse repetition rate, and fluence, small silver nanoclusters form preferentially around the structures previously etched in the silicon surfaces by the focused ion beam.
