Deposition of hexagonal boron nitride thin films on silver nanoparticle substrates and surface enhanced infrared absorption

Silver nanoparticle thin films with different average particle diameters are grown on silicon substrates. Boron nitride thin films are then deposited on the silver nanoparticle interlayers by radio frequency （RF） magnetron sputtering. The boron nitride thin films are characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectra. The average particle diameters of silver nanoparticle thin films are 126.6, 78.4, and 178.8 nm. The results show that the sizes of the silver nanoparticles have effects on the intensities of infrared spectra of boron nitride thin films. An enhanced infrared absorption is detected for boron nitride thin film grown on silver nanoparticle thin film. This result is helpful to study the growth mechanism of boron nitride thin film.     

Surface properties of cubic boron nitride thin films

Studying the surface properties of cubic boron nitride (c-BN) thin films is very important to making it clear that its formation mechanism and application. In this paper, c-BN thin films were deposited on Si substrates by radio frequency sputter. The influence of working gas pressure on the formation of cBN thin film was studied. The surface of c-BN films was analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and the results showed that the surface of c-BN thin films contained C and O elements besides B and N. Value of N/B of c-BN thin films that contained cubic phase of boron nitride was very close to 1. The calculation based on XPS showed that the thickness of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) on the surface of c-BN films is approximately 0.8 nm.

Investigation of laser-induced plasma deposition of boron nitride

Laser ionization mass spectrometry (LIMS) was applied to the investigation of the composition of laser plasmas of three different boron nitride modifications (hexagonal -boron nitride with graphite structure, cubic -boron nitride with diamond structure and hexagonal -boron nitride resembling the wurtzite type). Thin films in the 10 nm range were produced in the ion source of the laser mass spectrograph by laser-induced plasma deposition. So we could carry out the plasma diagnostic and the preparation of thin films under the same condition. The cluster distribution in laser plasma is independent of the structure of the BN target. An explanation of laser-induced plasma deposition of boron nitride from the results of mass spectrometric analysis of laser plasmas and of the analysis of deposited thin films (TEM, EELS) was derived.     

White light emission from Er,Pr co-doped AlN films

In this work, Er-doped aluminum nitride(AlN), Pr-doped AlN, and Er, Pr co-doped AlN thin films were prepared by ion implantation. After annealing, the luminescence properties were investigated by cathodoluminescence. Some new and interesting phenomena were observed. The peak at 480 nm was observed only for Er-doped AlN. However, for Er, Pr co-doped AlN, it disappeared. At the same time, a new peak at 494 nm was observed,although it was not observed for Er-doped AlN or Pr-doped AlN before. Therefore, the energy transfer mechanism between Er~(3+)and Pr~(3+)in AlN thin films was investigated in detail. Through optimizing the dose ratio of Er~(3+)with respect to Pr~(3+), white light emission with an International Commission on Illumination chromaticity coordinate(0.332, 0.332) was obtained. This work may provide a new strategy for realizing white light emission based on nitride semiconductors.     

Simulation of a stress-strain state in thin structured gallium nitride films on sapphire substrates

The stress-strain state in thin structured gallium nitride films on sapphire substrates containing open pores has been simulated. The results have been obtained by the finite element method in the commercial program complex. The stress intensity factor K _I has been calculated for the model considering a crack at the GaN/sapphire interface near an open pore. Based on the calculations of elastic fields, the redistribution of stresses by a structure with an ordered array of open pores in gallium nitride films has been estimated.

Synthesis of TiN/a-Si3N4 thin film by using a Mather type dense plasma focus system

A 2.3 kJ Mather type pulsed plasma focus device was used for the synthesis of a TiN/a-Si3N4 thin film at room temperature. The film was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The XRD pattern confirms the growth of polycrystalline TiN thin film. The XPS results indicate that the synthesized film is non-stoichiometric and contains titanium nitride, silicon nitride, and a phase of silicon oxy-nitride. The SEM and AFM results reveal that the surface of the synthesized film is quite smooth with 0.59 nm roughness (root-mean-square).

Thickness-Dependent Phase Transformations in Implanted Iron

The dependence of iron nitride formation and phase transformations on the thickness of the nitrogen implanted Fe layers is investigated. The iron nitrides formation in N-implanted Fe-layers of various thickness (60–860 nm) implanted with 100 keV N₂ ⁺ ions with doses ranging from 1×10¹⁷ to 4.5×10¹⁷ at. N/cm² is studied by CEMS and supplemented by GXRD. It was found that nitride formation is strongly enhanced in thin Fe films as compared to thicker layers or the bulk samples. A given nitride phase is formed in thin (60, 130 nm) Fe layers at significantly lower N-doses and the transformation of the original Fe layer into iron nitrides is more complete than in the bulk -Fe. It is suggested that high stresses in thin Fe layers, revealed by the GXRD measurements, may enhance nitrides formation.     

An alternative procedure for the determination of the optical band gap and thickness of amorphous carbon nitride thin films

In this work, we propose an alternative procedure to obtain the optical band gap and the thickness of amorphous carbon nitride thin films that requires only the measurement of the absorbance spectrum of the samples. The method is based on an absorbance spectrum fitting (ASF) procedure using the Tauc model, which is widely applied to the study of amorphous semiconductors. With the aim of evaluating the proposed method two sets of carbon nitride samples deposited on glass substrates were analyzed; one prepared by pulsed laser ablation (PLA) and the second by magnetron sputtering. The obtained results using different conventional methods were compared with the results of the ASF method and a good agreement between the values and the tendencies with the experimental conditions used to prepare the films were observed.
