AbstractVanadium oxide thin films were grown on glass substrates by atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD) from the reaction of vanadium(IV) chloride with isopropanol and t-butanol. Films were deposited in the temperature range 250 to 450°C. The as-deposited films were a dark greenish color consistent with formation of a lower oxide of vanadium. Annealing a film deposited on Corning 7059 glass in air converted the material to a yellow film. X-ray diffraction of the yellow film revealed the presence of V2O5. Optical spectra of the films are presented. Glass substrates previously coated with conductive fluorine doped tin oxide were coated with V2O5 and evaluated for electrochromic activity.

ABSTRACTCyclo-trigallazane, [H2GaNH2]3, is known to form bulk powders of the new cubic phase of gallium nitride upon pyrolysis. An explanation for this unusual example where the molecular structure of the precursor controls the crystal structure of the solid state product is presented. In a hot-wall atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (CVD) reactor, arsine was found to react with TMAG to form films of polycrystalline GaAs which were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The growth rates for smooth films was 1-4 μm/h. In a low pressure CVD reactor, elemental arsenic vapor was also found to react with the TMAG to give GaAs thin films.

Texture evolution in Si/SiC multilayers deposited by atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition on carbonized Si(001) substrates was investigated using x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. SiC layers were epitaxial and (001)-oriented. Si layers deposited on the SiC exhibited a columnar structure with predominantly (110) orientation which could be related to the nucleation. Orientational relationships were Si[111] ║ SiC[110] and Si[112] ║ SiC[110]. Also, a low density of (112)-oriented columns was present. Extensive twinning on the vertical {111} planes within the Si columns led to domains of hexagonal stacking up to 10 nm in size with the presence of 2H-Si and 4H-Si. Subsequent SiC layer growth on the (110)-oriented Si layer resulted in a (110)-oriented SiC layer if the Si layer was carbonized prior to growth.

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

<p class="1Body">MgO films were epitaxially grown on single crystal MgO substrates by atmospheric-pressure chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Reciprocal lattice mappings and X-ray reflection pole figures were used to evaluate the crystal quality of the synthesized films and their epitaxial relation to their respective substrates. The X-ray diffraction profiles indicated that the substrates were oriented out-of-plane during MgO crystal growth. Subsequent pole figure measurements showed how all the MgO films retained the substrate in-plane orientations by expressing the same pole arrangements. The reciprocal lattice mappings indicated that the whisker film showed a relatively strong streak while the continuous film showed a weak one. Hence, highly crystalline epitaxial MgO thin films were synthesized on single crystal MgO substrates by atmospheric-pressure CVD.</p>

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.

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.

AbstractThe low temperature (ca. 300°C) deposition of antimony films by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) on glass substrates from tribenzylantimony, Bn3Sb, is described. The facile elimination of the benzyl ligands results in preferentially oriented antimony films with low carbon content. The pyrolysis, decomposition mechanism and precursor design strategies are discussed. In addition, the deposition of bismuth from tribenzylbismuth, Bn3Bi, is presented. The potential for alloy growth using these precursors is discussed. Resulting films were characterized by XRD, SEM, and AFM.
