AbstractA CO2 laser, operating at 10.6μm, has been used to promote the growth of topotaxial layers of the chalcocite phase of cuprous sulphide in cadmium sulphide thin films immersed in an organic solution of a cuprous salt at ambient temperature. Cuprous sulphide growth is initiated by the laser beam which passes through the liquid and raises the surface temperature of the CdS allowing ion exchange to take place without changing the surface topography. An investigation into different combinations of organic solvents and cuprous/cupric salts has revealed that cuprous iodide in acetonitrile or propionitrile yields the fastest growth rates. The results are compared with those obtained from junctions fabricated using lasers operating in the visible frequency range.

Cadmium Sulphide (CdS) thin films with different thicknesses were prepared by pulsed laser deposition technique using Nd:YAG laser with wavelength 1064 nm. AC electrical conductivity was studied in the frequency range 100–1000 KHz as a function of temperature. AC conductivity increased with increasing the frequency. The values of the activation energy of the AC conduction were calculated for CdS thin films of different thicknesses at various frequencies. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss were investigated as a function of temperature at different frequencies.

AbstractSpontaneous deposition of copper seed layers from metal bearing organic based solutions onto sputter deposited titanium, titanium nitride, and tantalum diffusion barrier thin films has been demonstrated. Based on electrochemically driven cementation exchange reactions, the process was used to produce adherent, selectively deposited copper metal particulate films on blanket and patterned barrier metal thin films on silicon substrates. The organic solution deposited copper films were capable of acting as seed layers for subsequent electrolytic and electroless copper deposition processes using standard plating baths. Electroless and electrolytic copper films from 0.1µm to 1.0µm thick were produced on a variety of samples on which the organic solution copper acted as the initial catalytic seed layer. The feasibility of using organic solution deposited palladium as a seed layer followed by electroless copper deposition has also been demonstrated. In addition, experiments conducted on patterned barrier metal samples with exposed areas of dielectric such as polyimide indicated that no organic solution copper or palladium deposition occurred on the insulating materials.

The terahertz frequency range is promising for solving various practically important problems. However, for the terahertz technology development, there is still a problem with the lack of affordable and effective terahertz devices. One of the main tasks is to search for new materials with high sensitivity to terahertz radiation at room temperature. Bi1−xSbx thin films with various Sb concentrations seem to be suitable for such conditions. In this paper, the terahertz radiation influence onto the properties of thermoelectric Bi1−xSbx 200 nm films was investigated for the first time. The films were obtained by means of thermal evaporation in vacuum. They were affected by terahertz radiation at the frequency of 0.14 terahertz (THz) in the presence of thermal gradient, electric field or without these influences. The temporal dependencies of photoconductivity, temperature difference and voltage drop were measured. The obtained data demonstrate the possibility for practical use of Bi1−xSbx thin films for THz radiation detection. The results of our work promote the usage of these thermoelectric materials, as well as THz radiation detectors based on them, in various areas of modern THz photonics.
