Design And Manufacture

Objective: This project focuses on designing, building and commissioning work the atomic layer deposition (ALD) reactor for Al2O3 ultrathin film, which it will be contain specific components and a system's own control unit. Methodology: The ALD reactor was designed under a system to minimize components, flow lines and connections; to reduce manufacturing costs, volume of precursors, among others. Currently, ALD reactors are expensive to sell, maintain and replace parts. The design and manufacture of the ALD reactor manufactured at the University of Sonora (UNISON) is based on the state art with sequential binary reactions of the precursors, for the proposal for the manufacture of solar cells. Contribution: It was possible to build and commission the ALD reactor for the deposition of ultra-thin films, with the characteristics of being reproducible and scalable, which makes it attractive for commercialization. The homemade ALD reactor at UNISON is considered a very interesting equipment for the semiconductor research area, since it is possible to combine different types of materials in the form of films such as oxides and nitrides in the order of Angstroms (Ǻ).

Improving the selectivity of gas sensors is crucial for their further development. One effective route to enhance this key property of sensors is the use of selective nanomembrane materials. This work aims to present how metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and thin films prepared by atomic layer deposition (ALD) can be applied as nanomembranes to separate different gases, and hence improve the selectivity of gas sensing devices. First, the fundamentals of the mechanisms and configuration of gas sensors will be given. A selected list of studies will then be presented to illustrate how MOFs and ALD materials can be implemented as nanomembranes and how they can be implemented to improve the operational performance of gas sensing devices. This review comprehensively shows the benefits of these novel selective nanomaterials and opens prospects for the sensing community.

Conductive Thin Films

This work characterizes the mechanical and opto-electric properties of Aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) thin films deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD), where various depositing temperature, 100, 125, 150, 175, and 200 °C are considered. The transmittance, microstructure, electric resistivity, adhesion, hardness, and Young’s modulus of the deposited thin films are tested by using spectrophotometer, X-ray diffraction, Hall effect analyzer, micro scratch, and nanoindentation, respectively. The results show that the AZO thin film deposited at 200 °C behaves the best electric properties, where its resistance, Carrier Concentration and mobility reach 4.3×10-4 Ωcm, 2.4×1020 cm-3, and 60.4 cm2V-1s-1, respectively. Furthermore, microstructure of the AZO films deposited by ALD is much better than those deposited by sputtering.
