ABSTRACTWe have used in situ Auger spectroscopic analysis to investigate the composition of InP surfaces cleaned in rf H2 plasmas and etched in rf H2/CH4/Ar plasmas. In general agreement with previous results, hydrogen plasma treatment is found to remove surface carbon and oxygen impurities but also leads to substantial surface phosphorus depletion if not carefully controlled. Low plasma exposure times and rf power settings minimize both phosphorus depletion and surface roughening. Surfaces etched in H2/CH4/Ar plasmas can show severe phosphorus depletion in high density plasmas leading to etch rates of ∼ 700 Å/min, but this effect is greatly reduced in lower density plasmas that produce etch rates of 30–400 Å/min.

ABSTRACTUsing μ-Raman spectroscopy (μRS) analyses, the impact of hydrogen plasma treatments on sintered zinc oxide (ZnO) samples was investigated. H-plasma exposures (150 W, 13.56 MHz) were carried out for 1 hour at substrate temperatures between 250 °C and 500 °C. μRS reveals that plasma hydrogenated ZnO samples are more defective than non-treated ones. On one hand non-specified defect species are created with a maximal density upon plasma hydrogenation at 350 °C, on the other hand the formation of oxygen vacancies (VO) can be traced. The density of VO defects, appearing upon H-plasma exposure, is not significantly correlated to the applied substrate temperatures. μRS also reveals vibration modes of H2 molecules trapped in nano-voids. The μRS results indicate that those nano-voids are created by the coalescence of VO defects.

The effect of hydrogen plasma exposure on the properties of transparent conducting indium-tin oxide films has been studied. The exposure reduces the film surface to elemental indium. The thickness of the reduced layer increases with increasing exposure and finally saturates to a thickness of about 100 nm. The reduced surface is rough and decreases the visible transmittance of these films drastically due to increased absorptance and reflectance. The reduced metal layer decreases the sheet resistance of the films. Annealing of the plasma-exposed film in oxygen recovers the visible transmittance except in the case of the severely damaged films.
