AbstractGaP crystals are grown on Si substrates by MOCVD. Double crystal X-ray diffraction indicates that the crystal quality of GaP layers greatly improves when AsH3 is supplied before growth. The FWHM of (400) diffraction peak of the GaP layer decreases as the thickness increases and the best FWHM of 112.5 arcs is obtained at a thickness of 5 μm. The GaP/Si interface is characterized using secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) to demonstrate the effect of AsH3.

ABSTRACTCadmium telluride layers were grown on InSb substrates by organometallic vapor phase epitaxy and examined using secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), photoluminescence (Pb) and double crystal x-ray diffraction (DCD). The substrate temperature and the nature of the surface prior to growth are shown to be the most important parameters which influence the quality of CdTe layers. Growth on diethyltelluride (DETe) stabilized InSb substrates resulted in CdTe growth with a misorientation of about 4 minutes of arc with respect to the substrates. On the other hand, the grown layers followed the orientation of the substrates when a dimethylcadmium (DMCd) stabilized InSb was used. Growth at 350°C resulted in the smallest x-ray rocking curve (DCRC) full width at half maximum (FWHM) of about 20 arc seconds.

CuIn0.8Ga0.2Se2 thin film is grown at room temperature by RF sputtering using high quality of CuIn0.8Ga0.2Se2 single phase target. A (112) diffraction peak is dominant with no secondary phases such as selenide materials in the X-ray diffraction pattern. A flat and homogeneous surface can be obtained in the sample.

The real time B-doped thin Si and SiGe epilayers on diameter 3-inch Si substrates were grown by an ultrahigh vacuum chemical vapor deposition (UHV/CVD) system. The substrate temperature during growth was from 550 ~ 780°C. The properties of the epilayers were characterized by secondary ion mass spectrum (SIMS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), spreading resistance profile (SRP) and double crystal x-ray diffraction (DCXRD). The carrier concentration in the intrinsic Si epilayer was about 1012 cm -3 and the resistivity was as high as about 10000 Ωcm. In addition, the abrupt transition and B-doped concentration of 1015 ~ 1019 cm -3 were achieved for Si and SiGe epilayers.

ABSTRACTWe prepared β-FeSi2 thin-films by using a Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) method and succeeded to observe photoluminescence (PL) around 1.5 μm corresponding to β-FeSi2 band from the long-time and high-temperature annealed β-FeSi2 thin-films. The β-FeSi2 thin-films were ablated on Si(111) substrates heated at 550°C. After ablation, long-time and high-temperature thermal annealing was performed in order to improve the crystal-quality. Annealing times were 5, 10, 20 and 40 hrs, and annealing temperature was kept at 900 °C. Crystallinity was evaluated by an X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement. We have observed eminent improvement on crystal-quality of β-FeSi2 thin-films. Annealed samples show (220) or (202) X-ray diffraction signals of β-FeSi2 and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of these peaks were 0.27° although the thickness of the samples decreased with annealing time. Thermal-diffusion of Si atoms was observed from substrate to thin-films. Fe atoms in the ablated thin-films also diffused into the substrate. The relationship between the thickness of β-FeSi2 thin-films and the thermal-diffusion were investigated with rutherford backscattering (RBS) measurement. Maximum photoluminescence intensity around 1.5 μm was observed from the thickest β-FeSi2 thin-film with only 5 hrs annealing.

ABSTRACTThe microstructural characteristics of wide band gap semiconductor, hexagonal A1N thin films on Si(100), (111), and sapphire (0001) and (10ī2) were studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and x-ray diffraction. The films were grown by MOCVD from TMA1 + NH3 + N2 gas mixtures. Different degrees of film crystallinity were observed for films grown on α-A12O3 and Si substrates in different orientations. The epitaxial growth of high quality single crystalline A1N film on (0001) α-Al2O3 was demonstrated with a dislocation density of about 2*10 10cm−2 . The films on Si(111) and Si(100) substrates were textured with the c-axis of A1N being perpendicular to the substrate surface.

AbstractGaN films grown on SiC (0001) by MBE at various substrate temperatures (600° - 750° C) were characterized by RHEED, STM, x-ray diffraction, AFM and TEM. This work focuses on the TEM analysis of the films' features, such as stacking faults and dislocations, which are related to the substrate temperature. There are several basal plane stacking faults in the form of cubic inclusions for samples grown at low temperatures compared to those grown at high temperatures. The dislocation density is greatest for the film grown at 600°C, and it steadily decreases with increasing growth temperatures. Despite the presence of various defects, x-ray analysis shows that the GaN films are of high quality. The double crystal rocking curve full width at half maximum (FWHM) for the GaN (0002) peak is less than 2 arc-minutes for all of the films we measured and it decreases with increasing growth temperature.

We present a systematic quality comparison of protein crystals obtained with and without cross-linked protein crystal (CLPC) seeds. Four proteins were used to conduct the experiments, and the results showed that crystals obtained in the presence of CLPC seeds exhibited a better morphology. In addition, the X-ray diffraction data showed that the CLPC seeds method is a powerful tool to obtain high-quality protein crystals. Therefore, we recommend the use of CLPC seeds in preparing high-quality diffracting protein crystals.

ABSTRACTLittle is known about the development of film stresses in very thin films (thicknesses of the order of a few hundred Angstroms or less). As interest intensifies in the technological application of ever smaller quantities of materials, the behavior of very thin. films will undergo increasing scrutiny. In this study, the film stresses in evaporated Pd films and Pd2Si films formed by reaction with the Si substrates at 250°C were measured for thicknesses ranging from 7 to 107 nm. Stresses were calculated from the substrate radii of curvature determined by X-ray diffraction topography techniques (Lang and double crystal) and Stoney's equation. Because film continuity cannot be taken for granted at low coverage, the films were examined by electron microscopy in an attempt to correlate their morphology with the observed stresses.
