( Bi 0.92 Ce 0.08)2 Ti 2 O 7 thin films have been successfully prepared on P-type Si (100) substrates by a chemical solution decomposition method. The structural properties of the films were studied by X-ray diffraction. The phase stability of Bi 2 Ti 2 O 7 was improved after Ce ions were doped. The dielectric constants of ( Bi 0.92 Ce 0.08)2 Ti 2 O 7 thin films annealed at 650° and 700°C were higher than that of Bi 2 Ti 2 O 7 without Ce modification. The thin films annealed at 650°C showed the highest permittivity. The memory windows in the C – V loops were studied, indicating that the thin films were not ferroelectric thin films. All of these results showed that Ce -doped Bi 2 Ti 2 O 7 thin films had potential for DRAM and MOS applications.

Lead selenide PbSe thin films of different thicknesses (300, 500, and 700 nm) were deposited under vacuum using thermal evaporation method on glass substrates. X-ray diffraction measurements showed that increasing of thickness lead to well crystallize the prepared samples, such that the crystallite size increases while the dislocation density decreases with thickness increasing. A.C conductivity, dielectric constants, and loss tangent are studied as function to thickness, frequency (10kHz-10MHz) and temperatures (293K-493K). The conductivity measurements confirm confirmed that hopping is the mechanism responsible for the conduction process. Increasing of thickness decreases the thermal activation energy estimated from Arhinus equation is found to decrease with thickness increasing. The increase of thickness lead to reduce the polarizability α while the increasing of temperature lead to increase α.

Formation of the ternary compound Cu3BiS3 during annealing of chemically deposited CuS (∼0.3 μm) films on Bi2S3 film (∼0.1 μm on glass substrate) is reported. The interfacial atomic diffusion leading to the formation of the compound during the annealing is indicated in x-ray photoelectron depth profile spectra of the films. The formation of Cu3BiS3 (Wittichenite, JCPDS 9-488) is confirmed by the x-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns. The films are optically absorbing in the entire visible region (absorption coefficient 4 × 104 cm−1 at 2.48 eV or 0.50 μm) and are p-type with electrical conductivity of 102−103 Ω−1 cm−1. Potential applications of these films as optical coatings in the control of solar energy transmittance through glazings and as a p-type absorber film in solar cell structures are indicated.

Reactive Rf Magnetron Sputtering

Transparent p-type conducting Ga-doped SnO2 thin films were prepared using reactive rf-magnetron sputtering. Good p-type conduction was directly realized without the need of postdeposition annealing. The p-type conductivity was found to be very sensitive to the growth condition and process, suggesting that the carrier behavior is strongly related to the fine microstructure of the films. The microstructures of the films were characterized using synchrotron X-ray diffraction and specular reflectivity techniques. The valence state of the Ga dopant was measured from X-ray photoelectron spectra to explain the origin of net holes presented in the films.

The preparation and characterization of CuInS2 thin films on ITO glass substrates prepared by one-step electrodeposition have been reported. Samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicate that CuInS2 is the major phase for the film deposited at -1.0 V, after annealing at 550°C in sulfur atmosphere, and the sample is Cu-rich and p-type semiconductor. Additionally, the energy band gap and carrier concentration for the sample were found to be 1.43 eV and 4.20×1017 cm−3, respectively. Furthermore, the maximum photocurrent density of the sample was found to be -1.15 mA/cm2 under 255 lx illumination, the sample shows the photo-enhancement effect.

AbstractThe ferroelectric thin films of bismuth titanate (Bi4Ti3O12) have been prepared by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition ( MOCVD) technique at atmosphere. The triphenyl bismuth (Bi(CaH5 ) 3)and tetrabutyl titanate (C16H36O4Ti) were used as precursors. Dense Bi4Ti3 O12 films with smooth shinning surface have been grown on Si( 100) substrates at 550°C whithout postannealing. The as- grown films were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersion analysis ( EDAX). The films showed well-ordered crystallinity with an (001)preffered orientation. The influence of growth parameters on deposition rate, composition and morphology of as-grown films was also discussed.

Nano-structural of vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) thin films weredeposited by chemical spray pyrolysis technique (CSPT). Nd and Cedoped vanadium oxide films were prepared, adding Neodymiumchloride (NdCl3) and ceric sulfate (Ce(SO4)2) of 3% in separatesolution. These precursor solutions were used to deposit un-dopedV2O5 and doped with Nd and Ce films on the p-type Si (111) andglass substrate at 250°C. The structural, optical and electricalproperties were investigated. The X-ray diffraction study revealed apolycrystalline nature of the orthorhombic structure with thepreferred orientation of (010) with nano-grains. Atomic forcemicroscopy (AFM) was used to characterize the morphology of thefilms. Un-doped V2O5 and doped with 3% concentration of Nd andCe films have direct allowed transition band gap. The mechanisms ofdc-conductivity of un-doped V2O5 and doped with Nd and Ce filmsat the range 303 K to 473 K have been discussed.

In this study, we investigated the structure and ferroelectric properties of the as-deposited (Bi3.25Nd0.75)(Ti2.9V0.1)O12ferroelectric thin films on ITO substrate fabricated by rf magnetron sputtering method. The electrical, ferroelectric and physical characteristics of as-deposited (Bi3.25Nd0.75)(Ti2.9V0.1)O12thin films were developed under different conditions to find the optimal deposited parameters. The crystalline structure of the prepared (Bi3.25Nd0.75)(Ti2.9V0.1)O12thin films was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) was used to observe the film thickness and the surface morphology including grain size and porosity. Additionally, the remnant polarization of the as-deposited ferroelectric thin films was improved by neodymium and vanadium elements doped in this study. The remanent polarization of as-deposited ferroelectric thin films was 11 μC/cm2as the measured frequency of 1kHz. Finally, the polarization of as-deposited ferroelectric thin film capacitor was decreased by 9% after the fatigue test with 109switching cycles.

A thin-film bilayer structure consisting of polycrystalline Pb 0.85 Sm 0.1 TiO 3 and preferentially (111)-oriented Bi 2 Ti 2 O 7 were prepared using the chemical solution deposition technique. Thin films were deposited by spin-coating. The structural properties of the films were examined by X-ray diffraction. The surface morphology and quality were studied by using an atomic force microscope. The films exhibit a good insulating property and resistance to breakdown. The clockwise hysteresis curve is referred to as polarization type switching, and the memory window is about 3.5 V. The accumulation capacitance and dielectric loss decrease with the increased annealing temperature. The ( Pb, Sm ) TiO 3/ Bi 2 Ti 2 O 7 films in the "on" and "off" states are relatively stable.
