Nanoparticles and Films Formed by Pulsed Laser Irradiation on the CeO2 Target in the Liquid

The irradiation of a Nd-YAG pulsed laser on the CeO2 target in water was investigated. The CeO2 nanoparticles sized of 20-80 nm were formed in water, while the power density was larger than 32 kJ/cm2. The nanocrystalline films with grain sized of 50-150 nm were formed on the target with the energy density of 20 kJ/cm2-25 kJ/cm2. Finally, the amorphous films were formed with the energy density of 6 kJ/cm2-15 kJ/cm2. The formation mechanisms of the nanoparticles and the films were discussed.

ABSTRACTErbium ions were successfully doped in silicon by pulsed laser irradiation above the threshold laser energy density. Photoluminescence peaks at 1.54, 1.59 and 1.64 µm from Er-optical centers were observed after annealing of Er-doped samples. The intensity of the 1.54 µm Er-emission band increased upon increase in the laser energy density, and then gradually decreased after reaching the maximum, due to the laser sputtering of the silicon substrate. Oxygen atoms, which were unintentionally codoped with Er-ions, were found to be distributed in the same region as in Er-ions, and were suggested to play roles to activate Er-optical centers. The maximum concentration of Er-ions doped in the solid state regime were estimated to be the order of 1018 cm−3 by the Rutherford backscattering measurements.

ABSTRACTWe have studied silicon incorporation in GaAs subsequent to Nd-YAG laser irradiation through high pressure silane atmospheres. The process involves SiH4 pyrolysis at contact with a laser-melted GaAs surface, and incorporation of the released Si atoms in the melt. SIMS analyses have allowed us to study silicon incorporation as a function of SiH4 pressure, laser energy density and number of laser shots. The high sheet resistance of the doped layers indicates that the silicon atoms are poorly electrically activated. A compensation mechanism is discussed based on oxygen penetration from native GaAs oxide layers.

Pulsed Laser Irradiation

Surface modifications of wide-gap materials are produced by pulsed laser irradiation. Under given conditions, these near-surface modifications can promote adhesion enhancement of deposited thin film materials, and activation for electroless deposition. AIN decomposes during laser irradiation leaving a metallic film on the surface. High density dislocations were observed in the surface layer of AIN that was laser melted but not decomposed. The laser melted alumina becomes amorphous at a laser energy density of ~1J/cm2. In sapphire, γ-alumina is formed when the sample is laser irradiated in Ar/4%H2. Here, we report the formation of a new structure in laser-irradiated sapphire.Optically polished c-axis sapphire substrates were laser-irradiated in an Ar/4%H2 atmosphere at 4J/cm2 energy density, using a 308 nm-wavelength laser with a pulse duration of ~40 ns. Sapphire (A12O3) has a space group R 3 c and can be described as an hcp structure having oxygen and aluminum layers alternately stacking along the c-axis.

ABSTRACTThermally grown NiSi layers on <111> Si substrates were irradiated by 35 nsec Nd glass laser pulses in the energy density range 0.3−2.0 J/cm2. Time resolved reflectivity measurements were performed during the irradiation to detect surface melting. The samples were analyzed by 2.0 MeV He+ Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry in combination with channeling effect. The measured threshold for surface melting was 0.5 J/cm2. Irradiation at energy densities higher than 1.3 J/cm2 changed the silicides layer composition because of the mixing with the underlying silicon. In the intermediate energy density range (0.7−1.1 J/cm ) slight changes in composition were observed, a strong alignement of NiSi molecules along the <111> substrate direction was however observed. The measured Xmin was about 30%. It seems then that an epitaxial NiSi phase can be grown by pulsed laser irradiation with a suitable choice of the incident energy density. Work is in progress to identify this new NiSi phase by TEM. However this ordered phase is a metastable one since after anunealing at 250°C, 30min the channeling yield reduction disappeared without any appreciable change in composition.

ABSTRACTTime resolved reflectivity (TRR) measurements were carried out during pulsed laser irradiation of silicon immersed in water. It was found that the TRR in water was similar to that in air though the signal deteriorated after about 100 ns from the starting point of the laser for incident energy densities above 1.4 J/cm2 (unlike what is observed in air). The total melt duration in water was about 2.8 to 1.6 times less than that in air at the same absorbed energy density. It was estimated that 20 % of the absorbed energy was taken away by the water layer. For the same energy coupled into the solid the melt-in/regrowth kinetics was speeded up by the presence of the water layer at the surface by about a factor 2 consistant with the results of Polman et. a15.
