ABSTRACTClose proximity of the lattice constant for tungsten disulfide and aluminum nitride has lead to an investigation to use WS2 as a potential substrate for the growth of AIN. Metal organic chemical vapor deposition(MOCVD) has been develop to fabricated WS2 thin films on Si(001) with their basal planes parallel to the substrate. AIN thin film was subsequently grown by atomic layer growth (ALG) process using dimethylamine-alane (DMEAA) and ammonia (NH3). Deposition conditions for WS2 thin films by MOCVD, and AIN growth on WS2 by ALG are described.

Deposition Substrate

Chromium (III) oxide is a technologically interesting material with attractive chemical, catalytic, magnetic and mechanical properties. It can be produced by different chemical and physical methods, for instance, by metal–organic chemical vapor deposition, thermal decomposition of chromium nitrate Cr(NO3)3 or ammonium dichromate (NH4)2Cr2O7, magnetron sputtering and atomic layer deposition. The latter method was used in the current work to deposit Cr2O3 thin films with thicknesses from 28 to 400 nm at deposition temperatures from 330 to 465 °C. The phase composition, crystallite size, hardness and modulus of elasticity were measured. The deposited Cr2O3 thin films had different structures from X-ray amorphous to crystalline α-Cr2O3 (eskolaite) structures. The averaged hardness of the films on SiO2 glass substrate varied from 12 to 22 GPa and the moduli were in the range of 76–180 GPa, as determined by nanoindentation. Lower values included some influence from a softer deposition substrate. The results indicate that Cr2O3 could be a promising material as a mechanically protective thin film applicable, for instance, in micro-electromechanical devices.

N2 Annealing

Tin oxide thin films were deposited at 375 °C on α-alumina substrate by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) process. A number of hillocks on the film were formed after air annealing at 500 °C for 30 min and few things in N2 annealing. The oxygen content and the binding energy after air annealing came to close the stoichiometric SnO2. The cauliflower hillocks of the film seem to be formed by the continuous migration of crystallites from a cauliflower grain on the substrate to release the stress due to the increase of oxygen content and volume.

Synthesis of zirconium tetramethylheptanedione [Zr(thd)4] was optimized. Purity of Zr(thd)4 was confirmed by melting point determination, carbon, and hydrogen elemental analysis and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer (NMR). By using Zr(thd)4, excellent quality ZrO2 thin films were successfully deposited on single-crystal silicon wafers by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) at reduced pressures. For substrate temperatures below 530 °C, the film deposition rates were very small (⋚1 nm/min). The film deposition rates were significantly affected by (i) source temperature, (ii) substrate temperature, and (iii) total pressure. As-deposited films are carbon free. Furthermore, only the tetragonal ZrO2 phase was identified in as-deposited films. The tetragonal phase transformed progressively into the monoclinic phase as the films were subjected to a high-temperature post-deposition annealing. The optical properties of the ZrO2 thin films as a function of wavelength, in the range of 200 nm to 2000 nm, were also reported. In addition, a simplified theoretical model which considers only a surface reaction was used to analyze the deposition of ZrO2 films. The model predicated the deposition rates well for various conditions in the hot wall reactor.
