AbstractZrO2 films were deposited on silicon substrates at temperatures from 350 to 550 °C by metallorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) using zirconium acetylacetonates. Depositions were carried out at both atmospheric and low pressures. The optical properties, structure, microstructure, and composition of these films were characterized by Ellipsometer, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA), respectively. The deposition was kinetically controlled at low temperatures and mass transfer controlled at high temperatures. Use of zirconium (IV) acetylacetonate resulted in cubic ZrO2 with some carbon contamination whereas, tetragonal pure ZrO2 were obtained with the precursor zirconium (IV) trifluroacetylacetonate. The tetragonal ZrO2 films are fine grained and showed preferential orientation. The measured values of dielectric constant, refractive index, and electrical resistivity of ZrO2 films are 18, 2.0, and 5E13 Ohm.cm, respectively.

ABSTRACTChemical vapor deposition experiments using (Me3Si)3As with either GaCl3 or Me3Ga at ambient pressure have produced films of GaAs on Si and semi-conducting GaAs substrates. The films have been characterized by X-ray diffraction and Auger electron spectroscopy, and each have small amounts of C and O impurities. No desired films were deposited from (C6F5)3GaAs(SiMe3)3 at 500°C and low pressures.

Films containing the metals copper, yttrium, calcium, strontium, barium, and bismuth were grown by organometallic chemical vapor deposition (OMCVD). Depositions were carried out at atmospheric pressure in an oxygen-rich environment using metal beta-diketonates and triphenylbismuth. The films were characterized by Auger electron spectroscopy, Nomarski and scanning electron microscopy, and x-ray diffraction. The results show that films containing yttrium consisted of Y2O3 with a small amount of carbidic carbon, those with copper and bismuth were mixtures of oxides with no detectable carbon, and those with calcium, strontium, and barium contained carbonates. Use of a partially fluorinated barium beta-diketonate gave films of BaF2 with small amounts of BaCO3.

We have synthesized the high-density Ga2O3 nanowires on gold (Au)-coated silicon substrates using metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. The nanowires exhibited one-dimensional structures having circular cross sections with diameters in the range of 30-200 nm. The energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy revealed that the nanowires contained elements of Ga and O, without Au-related impurities. X-ray diffraction analysis and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy showed that the Ga2O3 nanowires were crystalline.

AbstractParylene-N films were formed on silicon substrates at a substrate temperature of −20 °C and pressures from 4 - 7 torr via liquid source precursor delivery. [2.2 ] Paracyclophane, the precursor of parylene-N, was dissolved in an organic solvent and delivered into a vaporizer / pyrolysis unit. The solution was vaporized at ∼ 200 °C and its vapor was cracked at ∼ 700 °C to generate the reactive morromeric species. Films were grown by condensation and polymerization, and analyzed by infrared (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. These analyses indicated the formation of parylene-N films without detectable solvent contamination or incorporation into the polymeric films.

The compositional, structural and optical characterizations of In1-xGaxN epilayers grown by high pressure chemical vapor deposition have been carried out using Auger electron spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction and optical transmission spectroscopy. Auger electron spectroscopy revealed 14% gallium and 86% indium composition of the total metal contents in the In1-xGaxN epilayers. X-ray diffraction pattern showed three prominent peaks centered at 31.4?, 32.86? and 34.5? which are assigned to In1-xGaxN (0002), In (101) and GaN (0002) Bragg reflexes respectively. These results indicate no macroscopic observable phase separation in the analyzed In1-xGaxN sample. The optical transmission spectroscopy and the Beer-Lambert’s law quatified the absorption band edge to be 1.6 eV for the analyzed In1-xGaxN epilayers.The Himalayan PhysicsVol. 3, No. 32012Page: 6-9

AbstractMetalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) is a process used to manufacture electronic and optoelectronic devices that has traditionally lacked real-time growth monitoring and control. We have developed control strategies that incorporate monitors as real-time control sensors to improve MOCVD growth. An analog control system with an ultrasonic concentration monitor was used to reject bubbler concentration disturbances which exist under normal operation, during the growth of a four-period GaInAs/InP superlattice. Using X-ray diffraction, it was determined that the normally occurring concentration variations led to a wider GaInAs peak in the uncompensated growths as compared to the compensated growths, indicating that closed loop control improved GaInAs composition regulation. In further analysis of the X-ray diffraction curves, superlattice peaks were used as a measure of high crystalline quality. The compensated curve clearly displayed eight orders of satellite peaks, whereas the uncompensated curve shows little evidence of satellite peaks.

Abstract The full decomposition of dolomites with low and high iron content at low temperatures and low pressures is discussed with reference to the free energy of mixing of the ternary system Ca. Fe, Mg/O. The actual products of the primary step are a couple of rock salt structured oxides close to the spinodal compositions and with very small particle sizes. A subsequent diffusional process can produce large crystallites with equilibrium compositions, but it is effective only when either a low-iron dolomite is used as starting material or higher temperatures are employed.

Abrupt Changes

AbstractHydrogenated microcrystalline silicon films have been obtained by hot-wire chemical vapor deposition (HWCVD) in a silane and hydrogen mixture at low pressure (<5 × 10-2 mbar). The structure of the samples and the residual stress were characterised by X- ray diffraction (XRD). Raman spectroscopy was used to estimate the volume fraction of the crystalline phase, which is in the range of 86 % to 98%. The stress values range between 150 and -140 MPa. The mechanical properties were studied by nanoindentation. Unlike monocrystalline wafers, there is no evidence of abrupt changes in the force-penetration plot, which have been attributed to a pressure-induced phase transition. The hardness was 12.5 GPa for the best samples, which is close to that obtained for silicon wafers.
