ABSTRACTPraseodymium (Pr) doped aluminum nitride (AlN), gallium nitride (GaN) and boron nitride (BN) thin films deposited on Si (111) substrate are studied with cathodoluminescence. AlN:Pr and GaN:Pr films are deposited at 77 K and room temperature respectively while BN:Pr films at 750 K by reactive sputtering, using 100–200 Watts RF power, 5–10 mTorr nitrogen. Metal targets of Al and B with Pr and a liquid target of Ga with solid Pr are used. The dominant peaks observed in the visible range result from 3P0 → 3H4, 3P1→ 3H5, and 3P0 → 3F2 transitions in AlN:Pr, 3P0 → 3H4, 3P0 → 3H6, and 3P0 → 3F2 transitions in GaN:Pr and from 3P0 → 3H4, 3P1→ 3H5, 3P0 → 3H6, and 3P0 → 3F2 transitions in BN:Pr. Additional peaks are observed from AlN:Pr at 335 nm and 385 nm from 1S0 → 1D2 and 1S0 → 1I6 which are not observed in GaN:Pr and BN:Pr films.

Y-Ba-Cu-O films were made by R-F diode sputtering using a single oxide target. It was found that if a small negative bias is applied to the substrate, the etching associated with reactive sputtering is significantly reduced. This results in better composition control and uniformity, which are quite important for the formation of superconducting thin films. Films deposited on strontium titanate, when annealed in oxygen, become superconducting with zero resistance at 89 K.

Abstract Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a widely used manufacturing process for obtaining thin films of materials like silicon, silicon carbide, graphene and gallium nitride that are employed in the fabrication of electronic and optical devices. Gallium nitride (GaN) thin films are attractive materials for manufacturing optoelectronic device applications due to their wide band gap and superb optoelectronic performance. The reliability and durability of the devices depend on the quality of the thin films. The metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) process is a common technique used to fabricate high-quality GaN thin films. The deposition rate and uniformity of thin films are determined by the thermal transport processes and chemical reactions occurring in the reactor, and are manipulated by controlling the operating conditions and the reactor geometrical configuration. In this study, the epitaxial growth of GaN thin films on sapphire (AL2O3) substrates is carried out in two commercial MOCVD systems. This paper focuses on the composition of the precursor and the carrier gases, since earlier studies have shown the importance of precursor composition. The results show that the flow rate of trimethylgallium (TMG), which is the main ingredient in the process, has a significant effect on the deposition rate and uniformity of the films. Also the carrier gas plays an important role in deposition rate and uniformity. Thus, the use of an appropriate mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen as the carrier gas can improve the deposition rate and quality of GaN thin films.
