ABSTRACTWe have prepared InAsSb/InGaAs strained-layer superlattices (SLS's) and InPSb confinement layers using metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) for use as infrared emitters. X-ray diffraction was used to determine lattice matching as well as composition and structure of the SLS's. Photoluminescence linewidth and intensity were used as a measure of the quality of the structures. Typical FWHM were less than 10 meV. The presence of interface layers were indicated by broadened x-ray diffraction peaks for samples grown under non-optimized conditions. Two types of interfacial layers apparently due to a difference in composition at the interfaces were observed with transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The width of the x-ray peaks can be explained by a variation of the interfacial layer thicknesses. Optimized growth resulted in SLS's with narrow x-ray peaks and high radiative efficiency. Room temperature LEDs operating between 4-5 μm have been prepared.

ABSTRACTThe synthesis of superconducting Tl-Ba-Ca-Cu-O thin films on metal foils (Au and Ag) by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) has been investigated. Ba-Ca-Cu-O-(F) films are first prepared via MOCVD using fluorinated “second generation” metal-organic precursors. After an intermediate anneal with water vapor-saturated oxygen to promote removal of F, Tl is introduced by annealing in the presence of a mixture of oxides (Tl2O3, BaO, CaO, CuO) of a specific composition. Characterization of the thin films by scanning electron microscopy, EDX, x-ray diffraction, and variable temperature magnetization measurements has been carried out. High temperature superconductor (HTS) films of Tl2Ba2Ca1Cu2O8−x on Au foil exhibit a magnetically derived Tc = 80K and a high degree of texturing with the crystallite c-axes oriented perpendicular to the substrate surface as evidenced by enhanced (000 x-ray diffraction reflections. Thin film coverage on Ag foil becomes non-contiguous during the (Tl2O3, BaO, CaO, CuO) mixture anneal.

ABSTRACTWe report the results of a recent study on the deposition of praseodymium oxides thin films on silicon substrates by Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD). A suited Pr(III) β-diketonate precursor has been used as the metal source and the deposition conditions have been carefully selected because of a large variety of possible PrO2−x (x= 0−0.5) phases. Pr2O3 films have been obtained in a hot-wall MOCVD reactor under non oxidising ambient at 750°C deposition temperature. The structural and morphological characteristics of Pr2O3 films have been carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Chemical compositional studies have been performed by X- ray photoelectron spectroscopic (XPS) analysis and a fully understanding of the MOCVD process has been achieved. Preliminary electrical measurements point to MOCVD as a reliable growth technique to obtain good quality praseodymium oxide based films.

BiFeO3 films undoped and doped with Ba and/or Ti have been fabricated through Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) on SrTiO3 (100), SrTiO3:Nb (100) and YSZ (100) substrates. Films have been deposited using a multi-metal source, consisting of the Bi (phenyl)3, Fe (tmhd)3, Ba (hfa)2•tetraglyme and Ti (tmhd)2(O-iPr)2 (phenyl= -C6H5, H-tmhd=2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptandione; O-iPr= iso-propoxide; H-hfa=1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoro-2,4-pentanedione; tetraglyme = CH3O(CH2CH2O)4CH3) precursor mixture. The structural and morphological characterization of films has been carried out using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). Chemical compositional studies have been performed by energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. Structural and morphological characterizations point to the formation of crystalline phases and homogeneous surfaces for both undoped and doped BiFeO3 films. Piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) and piezoresponce force spectroscopy (PFS) have been applied to study the piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties of the films.
