There is great interest in the growth of thin superconducting films of YBa2Cu3Ox on silicon, since this is a necessary first step in the use of this superconductor in a variety of possible electronic applications including interconnects and hybrid semiconductor/superconductor devices. However, initial experiments in this area showed that drastic interdiffusion of Si into the superconductor occurred during annealing if the Y-Ba-Cu-O was deposited direcdy on Si or SiO2, and this interdiffusion destroyed the superconducting properties. This paper describes the results of the use of a zirconia buffer layer as a diffusion barrier in the growth of thin YBa2Cu3Ox films on Si. A more complete description of the growth and characterization of these films will be published elsewhere.Thin film deposition was carried out by sequential electron beam evaporation in vacuum onto clean or oxidized single crystal Si wafers. The first layer evaporated was 0.4 μm of zirconia.

Thin film is used for sensing and electronic devices applications. Various techniques are used for thin film deposition. This chapter presents the Spray pyrolysis deposition technique used for the growth of thin films sensing and device material. Spray pyrolysis is an inexpensive method to grow good crystalline thin film compared to other thin film deposition techniques. The chapter gives an overview of the spray process used for thin film deposition. Basic setup for this process is explained. Parameters affecting the deposition process is explained, as are the various spray methods. Finally, some examples of spray pyrolysis in different applications like a gas sensor, UV photodetector, solar cell, photocatalysis, and supercapacitor are discussed.

Taking Silicon tetrachloride (SiCl4) and hydrogen (H2) as the reaction gas, by the method of plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), this paper simulates the deposition process of polycrystalline silicon thin film on the glass substrates in the software FLUENT. Three dimensional physical model and mathematics model of the simulated area are established. The reaction mechanism including main reaction equation and several side equations is given during the simulation process. The simulation results predict the velocity field, temperature distribution, and concentration profiles in the PECVD reactor. The simulation results show that the deposition rate of silicon distribution is even along the circumference direction, and gradually reduced along the radius direction. The deposition rate is about 0.005kg/(m2•s) at the center. The simulated result is basically consistent with the practical one. It means that numerical simulation method to predict deposition process is feasible and the results are reliable in PECVD system.

In this study, an efficient nanofabrication process of metal microdisk arrays using direct imprinting was developed. This process was comprised of three steps; sputter etching on the quartz glass substrate, gold thin film deposition on an etched surface of a substrate, and transfer imprinting using a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film mold on the Au thin film. A new idea to utilize a PET film mold for disk patterning by the nano transfer imprinting was examined. The PET film mold was prepared by thermally embossing the pillar pattern of a master mold on the PET film. The master mold was prepared from a silicon wafer. The PET film mold was used for transfer imprinting on a metal film deposited on a quartz substrate. The experimental results revealed that the PET film mold can effectively form gold micro-disk arrays on the Au film despite the PET film mold being softer than the Au film. This method can control the distribution and orientation of the nano-arrays on the disk. The plasmonic properties of the gold micro-disk arrays are studied and the absorbance spectrum exhibit depends on the distribution and orientation of gold micro-disk patterns. The nano-transfer imprinting technique is useful for fabricating metallic microdisk arrays on substrate as a plasmonic device.
