Graphene is a novel two dimensional material with exceptional properties. Chemical vapor deposition of graphene on metal substrates is widely used to prepare high quality graphene film. However, the graphene films need to be transferred to oxide substrates for device applications. A chemical vapor deposition approach for direct growth of graphene films on zinc oxide was demonstrated in the present investigation. Raman spectra were used to characterize the grown graphene films. The impact of the growth temperature, time and gas flow ratio on the layer number and crystallite size of graphene was investigated.

ABSTRACTIn this paper the impact of the ESL (Etch Stop layer) nitride on the device performance especially the threshold voltage (Vt) has been studied. From SIMS analysis, it is found that different nitride gives different H concentration, [H] in the Gate oxide area, the higher [H] in the nitride film, the higher H in the Gate Oxide area and the lower the threshold voltage. It is also found that using TiSi instead of CoSi can help to stop the H from diffusing into Gate Oxide/channel area, resulting in a smaller threshold voltage drift for the device employed TiSi. Study to control the [H] in the nitride film is also carried out. In this paper, RBS, HFS and FTIR are used to analyze the composition changes of the SiN films prepared using Plasma enhanced Chemical Vapor deposition (PECVD), Rapid Thermal Chemical Vapor Deposition (RTCVD) with different process parameters. Gas flow ratio, RF power and temperature are found to be the key factors that affect the composition and the H concentration in the film. It is found that the nearer the SiN composition to stoichiometric Si3N4, the lower the [H] in SiN film because there is no excess silicon or nitrogen to be bonded with H. However the lowest [H] in the SiN film is limited by temperature. The higher the process temperature the lower the [H] can be obtained in the SiN film and the nearer the composition to stoichiometric Si3N4.

ABSTRACTThe intense UV-visible-IR adjustable light emissions from silicon-rich oxynitride thin films without any thermal annealing were observed at room temperature under a 325 nm He-Cd laser excitation. The silicon-rich oxynitride thin films were deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) with the mixture of 5% Ar diluted silane and nitrous oxide gases. The strong naked-eye recognizable photoluminescence (blue-white-red) could be adjusted by changing the process gas flow ratio τ =([SiH4]/[N20]). To the best of our knowledge, intense and adjustable UV-blue light emissions in the as-deposited thin films are first reported in this work. The Fourier Transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was applied to investigate the microstructure-bonding configurations, in which silicon polysilane related bonding at 830-890 cm' present that silicon complex, exists along with the Si-O-Si bonding. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to investigate the binding configuration, the binding energy of Si 2p appearing at 99.3 eV was indicative of formation of the silicon clusters. As a consequence, we suppose that the visible-IR lights emissions might possible be strongly related to silicon clusters formation in the films and the intense UV emissions might come from the oxygen-related defects.

We optimized the CH4 and H2 gas flow rate of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) graphene growth and obtained larger area, fewer-layered graphene grown on Cu foils. After transfering to SiO2 substrate by PMMA more than 3 times to repair the defect of monolayer graphene film, we synthesized large area, transparent and continuous graphene film. The morphology and structure were characterized by SEM and Raman spectroscopy. Analysis of electrical properties and optical properties show that we obtained low resistance and high transparency of ~90%, which could be used on photoelectric device as solar cell and acceptable for replacing commercial ITO electrodes.

Graphene films were produced by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of pyridine on copper substrates. Pyridine-CVD is expected to lead to doped graphene by the insertion of nitrogen atoms in the growing sp2 carbon lattice, possibly improving the properties of graphene as a transparent conductive film. We here report on the influence that the CVD parameters (i.e., temperature and gas flow) have on the morphology, transmittance, and electrical conductivity of the graphene films grown with pyridine. A temperature range between 930 and 1070 °C was explored and the results were compared to those of pristine graphene grown by ethanol-CVD under the same process conditions. The films were characterized by atomic force microscopy, Raman and X-ray photoemission spectroscopy. The optical transmittance and electrical conductivity of the films were measured to evaluate their performance as transparent conductive electrodes. Graphene films grown by pyridine reached an electrical conductivity of 14.3 × 105 S/m. Such a high conductivity seems to be associated with the electronic doping induced by substitutional nitrogen atoms. In particular, at 930 °C the nitrogen/carbon ratio of pyridine-grown graphene reaches 3%, and its electrical conductivity is 40% higher than that of pristine graphene grown from ethanol-CVD.
