It is assumed that the free energy of a thin film of iron oxide is a function of its thickness. The effect on the dissociation pressure is calculated and the condition for stability of thickness is stated. A possible method for measuring the free energy change involved in oxide film formation on metal surfaces is presented which is based on measurements of the e.m.f. of the dry cell metal | oxide | oxygen.

The semiconductor industry flourished from a simple Si-based metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor to an era of MOSFET-based smart materials. In recent decades, researchers have been replacing all the materials required for the MOSFET device. They replaced the substrate with durable materials, lightweight materials, translucent materials and so on. They have came up with the possibility of replacing dielectric silicon dioxide material with high-grade dielectric materials. Even then the channel shift in the MOSFET was the new trend in MOSFET science. From the bulk to the atomic level, transistors have been curiously researched across the globe for the use of electronic devices. This research was also inspired by the different semiconductor materials relevant to the replacement of the dielectric channel/gate. Study focuses on diverse materials such as zinc oxides (ZnO), electrochromic oxides such as molybdenum oxides (including MoO3 and MoO2) and other binary oxides using ZnO and MoO3. The primary objective of this research is to study pulsed laser deposited thin films such as ZnO, MoO3, binary oxides such as binary ZnO /MoO3, ZnO /TiO2 and ZnO/V2O5 and to analyse their IV properties for FET applications. To achieve the goal, the following working elements have been set: investigation of pulsed laser deposited thin film of metal oxides and thin film of binary metal oxide nanostructures with effects of laser repetition and deposition temperatures.

ABSTRACTMetal CMP applications necessitate the formation of a protective oxide film in the presence of surface active agents, oxidizers, pH regulators and other chemicals to achieve global planarization. Formation and mechanical properties of the chemically modified metal oxide thin films in CMP determine the stresses develop at the interfaces delineating the stability and protective nature of the chemically altered films on the surface of the metal wafer. The balance between the stresses built in the film structure versus the mechanical actions provided during the process can be used to optimize the process variables and furthermore help define new planarization techniques for the next generation microelectronic device manufacturing. In this study, the preliminary studies were concentrated on the very well established tungsten CMP applications and furthermore, titanium CMP applications were presented as a part of surface nano-structuring methodology for biomedical applications by stressing the synergistic effect of protective metal oxide film of titanium in this advanced application.

AbstracMineralization processes used by bioorganisms have been adapted for the nucleation and growth of ceramic oxide thin films onto surfaces from aqueous solutions. These strategies include the use of surfaces derivatized with specific functional groups that control the nucleation and growth and properties of materials deposited. Iron oxide materials were deposited onto functionalized polystyrene surfaces, resulting in the formation of thin films composed of densely packed, nanometer-sized crystallites. Evidence for the formation of oriented crystallites was found. This process may have advantages over conventional thin film processing methods due to the ability to systematically control properties of materials deposited.
