ABSTRACTReactions between Pt and SiGe alloy have been studied by comparing several structures: Pt/Ge, Pt/SiGe, and Pt/Si-SiGe superlattices. The Ge, SiGe layers and Si-SiGe superlattices were grown on (100) Si substrates by the ultrahigh vacuum/chemical vapor deposition technique. Pt-Ge reactions start around 200 °C, forming PtzGe. This is followed by the formation of PtGe around 300 °C. The Pt-Ge reactions are thus similar to those of Pt-Si. The reactions between Pt and SiGe, however, involve a preferential Pt-Si reaction. At 200 °C, for example, while Pt2Ge is normally seen from the Pt/Ge system, only PtzSi is detected from both x-ray diffraction and Rutherford backscattering measurements. At higher temperatures, both the PtGe and PtSi phases form. This preferential Pt-Si reaction is observed in both Pt/SiGe and Pt/Si-SiGe superlattice structures.

Entangled Zn-ZnO nanorods and urchin-like microstructures were synthesized by the hot filament chemical vapor deposition technique at 825 and 1015°C, respectively. X-ray diffraction results showed a mixture of ZnO and Zn phases in both nanorods and urchin-like structures. The presence of Zn confirms the chemical dissociation of the ZnO solid source. The Z-ZnO nanorods with diameter of about 100 nm showed dispersed-like morphology. The urchin-like structures with micrometer diameters exhibited porous and rough morphology with epitaxial formation of nanorods.

AbstractThe crystal growth of SiC films on (100) Si and thermally oxidized Si (SiO2/Si) substrates by hot-mesh chemical vapor deposition (HMCVD) using monomethylsilane as a source gas was investigated. A mesh structure of hot tungsten (W) wire was used as a catalyzer. At substrate temperatures above 750°C and at a mesh temperature of 1600°C, 3C-SiC crystal was epitaxially grown on (100) Si substrates. From the X-ray rocking curve spectra of the (311) peak, SiC was also epitaxially grown in the substrate plane. On the basis of the X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements, on the other hand, the growth of (100)-oriented 3C-SiC films on SiO2/Si substrates was determined to be achieved at substrate temperatures of 750-800°C, while polycrystalline SiC films, at substrate temperatures above 850°C. From the dependence of growth rate on substrate temperature and W-mesh temperature, the growth mechanism of SiC crystal by HMCVD was discussed.

Boron-doped polycrystalline silicon film was synthesized using hot wire chemical vapor deposition technique for possible application in photonics devices. To investigate the effect of substrate, we considered Si/SiO2, glass/ITO/TiO2, Al2O3, and nickel tungsten alloy strip for the growth of polycrystalline silicon films. Scanning electron microscopy, optical reflectance, optical transmittance, X-ray diffraction, and I-V measurements were used to characterize the silicon films. The resistivity of the film was 1.3 × 10−2 Ω-cm for the polycrystalline silicon film, which was suitable for using as a window layer in a solar cell. These films have potential uses in making photodiode and photosensing devices.
