ABSTRACTCdS nanoparticles were grown inside a 3D hexagonal porous silica film. The film pore size and organization allowed the perfect control of particle repartition and size (3.5 nm), leading to a 3D nanocrystal array inside the silica matrix. The method was extended to another silica porous structure with larger pores, which allowed to obtain larger particles (5.8 nm). This process was then successfully generalized to other metal sulfides.

AbstractPeriodic 2-dimensional (2-D) hexagonal and the disordered pore structure silica films have been developed using nonionic surfactants as the templates. The pore structure was controlled by the static electrical interaction between the micelle of the surfactant and the silica oligomer. No X-ray diffraction peaks were observed for the disordered mesoporous silica films, while the pore diameters of 2.0-4.0 nm could be measured by small angle X-ray scattering spectroscopy. By comparing the properties of the 2-D hexagonal and the disordered porous silica films which have the same porosity, it is found that the disordered porous silica film has advantages in terms of the dielectric constant and Young's modulus as well as the hardness. The disordered porous silica film is more suitable for the interlayer dielectrics for ULSI.

In this work, we measure the thermal conductivity of mesoporous silica and aerogel thin-films using a non-destructive optical technique: time domain thermoreflectance (TDTR). Due to the rough surfaces of the optically transparent silica-based films, we evaporate an Al film on a glass cover slide and fabricate the silica structures directly on the Al film, providing a “probe-through-the-glass” configuration for TDTR measurements. This allows the thermal conductivity of mesoporous silica and aerogel thin films to be measured with traditional TDTR analyses. As the thermoreflectance response is highly dependent on the thermal effusivity of the porous structures, we estimate the density of the films by varying the heat capacity in our analysis. This density determination assumes that the solid matrix in the silica structure has the thermal conductivity as bulk SiO2, which is valid if all the lattice vibrations are localized, consistent with the minimum thermal conductivity concept. We independently determine the density of the porous silica films with nitrogen sorption measurements of thin films using a surface acoustic wave (SAW) technique. The difference between the determined from the SAW technique and that estimated by the TDTR effusivity analysis lends insight into the relative contributions of localized and propagating modes to thermal transport.
