We grow InN epilayers on different interlayers by metal organic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE) method, and investigate the effect of interlayer on the properties and growth mode of InN films. Three InN samples were deposited on nitrided sapphire, low-temperature InN (LT-InN) and high-temperature GaN (HT-GaN), respectively. The InN layer grown directly on nitrided sapphire owns the narrowest x-ray diffraction rocking curve (XRC) width of 300 aresee among the three samples, and demonstrates a two-dimensional (2D) step-flow-like lateral growth mode, which is much different from the three-dimensional (3D) pillar-like growth mode of LT-InN and HT-GaN buffered samples. It seems that mismatch tensile strain is helpful for the lateral epitaxy of InN film, whereas compressive strain promotes the vertical growth of InN films. 相似文献

Effects of AlN nucleation layer thickness on crystal quality of AlN grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy 下载免费PDF全文
In this paper,the effects of thickness of AlN nucleation layer grown at high temperature on AlN epi-layer crystalline quality are investigated.Crack-free AlN samples with various nucleation thicknesses are grown on sapphire substrates by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy.The AlN crystalline quality is analysed by transmission electron microscope and x-ray diffraction (XRD) rocking curves in both (002) and (102) planes.The surface profiles of nucleation layer with different thicknesses after in-situ annealing are also analysed by atomic force microscope.A critical nucleation thickness for realising high quality AlN films is found.When the nucleation thickness is above a certain value,the (102) XRD full width at half maximum (FWHM) of AlN bulk increases with nucleation thickness increasing,whereas the (002) XRD FWHM shows an opposite trend.These phenomena can be attributed to the characteristics of nucleation islands and the evolution of crystal grains during AlN main layer growth. 相似文献

Elimination of Crystallographic Wing Tilt of Canti-Bridged Epitaxial Laterally Overgrown GaN Films by Optimizing Growth Procedure 下载免费PDF全文
Canti-bridged epitaxial lateral overgrowth (CBELO) of GaN is performed by metalorganic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) on maskless V-grooved sapphire substrates prepared by wet chemical etching with different mesa widths. The wing tilt usually observed in ELO is not found in the CBELO GaN with wide mesa widths, while it can be detected obviously in the GaN with narrow mesa widths. The wing tilt of CBELO GaN grown on a grooved sapphire substrate with narrow mesa can be controlled by adjusting the thickness of the nucleation layer. The dependence of the wing tilt on the nucleation layer thickness is studied. Cross-sectional scanning electron microscopy is used to characterize the geometry of the wing regions, and double crystal x-ray diffraction is used to analyse the structural characteristics and to measure the magnitude of the crystalline wing tilt. It is found that the crystalline wing tilt can be eliminated completely by first growth of a thin nucleation GaN layer then the CBELO GaN. Possible reason and the origin of the wing tilt in CBELO GaN films are also discussed. 相似文献

Integration of the high-quality GaSb layer on an Si substrate is significant to improve the GaSb application in optoelectronic integration. In this work, a suitable ion implantation fluence of 5×1016-cm-2 H ions for GaSb layer transfer is confirmed. Combining the strain change and the defect evolution, the blistering and exfoliation processes of GaSb during annealing is revealed in detail. With the direct wafer bonding, the GaSb layer is successfully transferred onto a (100) Si substrate covered by 500-nm thickness thermal oxide SiO2 layer. After being annealed at 200 ℃, the GaSb layer shows high crystalline quality with only 77 arcsec for the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the x-ray rocking curve (XRC). 相似文献

Effect of double AlN buffer layer on the qualities of GaN films grown by radio-frequency molecular beam epitaxy 下载免费PDF全文
This paper reports that the GaN thin films with Ga-polarity and high quality were grown by radio-frequency molecular beam epitaxy on sapphire (0001) substrate with a double A1N buffer layer. The buffer layer consists of a high-temperature (HT) A1N layer and a low-temperature (LT) A1N layer grown at 800℃ and 600℃, respectively. It is demonstrated that the HT-A1N layer can result in the growth of GaN epilayer in Ga-polarity and the LT-A1N layer is helpful for the improvement of the epilayer quality. It is observed that the carrier mobility of the GaN epilayer increases from 458 to 858cm^2/V.s at room temperature when the thickness of LT-A1N layer varies from 0 to 20nm. The full width at half maximum of x-ray rocking curves also demonstrates a substantial improvement in the quality of GaN epilavers by the utilization of LT-A1N layer. 相似文献

Effect of Pretreatment of TaN Substrates on Atomic Layer Deposition Growth of Ru Thin Films 下载免费PDF全文
The polycrystalline ruthenium films are grown on TaN substrates by atomic layer deposition (ALD) using bis(cyclopentadienyl) ruthenium [RuCp2] and oxygen as ruthenium precursor and reactant respectively at a deposition temperature of 330℃. The low-energy Ar ion bombardment and Ru pre-deposition are performed to the underlying TaN substrates before ALD process in order to improve the Ru nucleation. X-ray diffraction, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy are carried out to characterize the properties of ALD Ru films. The results show that the nucleation density of Ru films with Ar^+ bombardment to the underlying TaN substrates is much higher than that of the ones without any pretreatment. The possible reasons are discussed. 相似文献

High-temperature (HT) AIN films were grown on (0 0 0 1) sapphire by low-pressure flow-modulated (FM) metal organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) with and without inserting a thin medium-temperature (MT) AIN layer. To suppress parasitic reactions between the sources of trimethylaluminum (TMA) and ammonia (NH3), TMA and NH3 was introduced to the reactor of MOVPE by alternating supply way. Surface morphology and crystalline quality were characterized by a scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray rocking curve (XRC) measurements of (0 0 0 2) and (10-12) diffractions. The AFM and SEM measurements indicated that the thin MT-AIN layer had a strong influence on the surface morphology of the HT-AIN films. The surface morphology became quite smooth by inserting the thin MT-AIN layer and surface RMS roughness values were 0.84 nm and 13.4 nm for the HT-AIN films with and without inserting the thin MT-AIN buffer layer, respectively. By etching the samples in aqueous KOH solution, it was found that the polarity of AIN films was different, the HT-AIN film with the thin MT-AIN layer could not be etched, indicating that the film had an Al-polar surface; however, the film without the MT-AIN layer was etched, which was explained that that film had a N- or mixed-polar surface. The mechanism for the origin of the different polarity of HT-AIN with and without the thin MT-AIN layer was proposed and discussed in detail. 相似文献

Cu(In,Ga)Se2 Thin Films on Flexible Polyimide Sheet: Structural and Electrical Properties versus Composition 下载免费PDF全文
The structural and electrical properties of Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) films grown on polyimide (PI) sheet using the three-stage co-evaporation process are investigated by x-ray diffraction spectra (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectra, and Hall effect measurements, respectively. The results show that the properties of CIGS films on PI sheet are strongly dependent on the compositional ratio of Cu/(In+Oa) (Cu/Ⅲ). In contrast to the non-stoichiometric CIGS films, stoichiometric CIGS films show better structural and electrical properties, such as a relatively larger grain size, lower resistivity and higher carrier concentration. The flexible CIGS solar cells on PI sheet with the conversion efficiencies of 9.7% and 6.6% are demonstrated for the CIGS absorber layer with Cu/Ⅲ of 0.96 and 0.76, respectively (active area, 0.20cm^2). The cell efficiency for Cu-poor CIGS films is limited by a relatively lower open circuit voltage and fill factor. 相似文献

Evaluation of threading dislocation density of strained Ge epitaxial layer by high resolution x-ray diffraction 下载免费PDF全文
The analysis of threading dislocation density(TDD)in Ge-on-Si layer is critical for developing lasers,light emitting diodes(LEDs),photodetectors(PDs),modulators,waveguides,metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors(MOS-FETs),and also the integration of Si-based monolithic photonics.The TDD of Ge epitaxial layer is analyzed by etching or transmission electron microscope(TEM).However,high-resolution x-ray diffraction(HR-XRD)rocking curve provides an optional method to analyze the TDD in Ge layer.The theory model of TDD measurement from rocking curves was first used in zinc-blende semiconductors.In this paper,this method is extended to the case of strained Ge-on-Si layers.The HR-XRD 2θ/ωscan is measured and Ge(004)single crystal rocking curve is utilized to calculate the TDD in strained Ge epitaxial layer.The rocking curve full width at half maximum(FWHM)broadening by incident beam divergence of the instrument,crystal size,and curvature of the crystal specimen is subtracted.The TDDs of samples A and B are calculated to be 1.41×10~8cm~(-2)and 6.47×10~8cm~(-2),respectively.In addition,we believe the TDDs calculated by this method to be the averaged dislocation density in the Ge epitaxial layer. 相似文献

We present an experimental and theoretical study of the geometric structure of ultrathin BaTiO(3) films grown on Fe(001). Surface x-ray diffraction reveals that the films are terminated by a BaO layer, while the TiO(2) layer is next to the top Fe layer. Cations in termination layers have incomplete oxygen shells inducing strong vertical relaxations. Onset of polarization is observed at a minimum thickness of two unit cells. Our findings are supported by first-principles calculations providing a quantitative insight into the multiferroic properties on the atomic scale. 相似文献

Tin oxide (Sn02 ) thin films are deposited by rf-magnetron sputtering and annealed at various temperatures in the range of 100-500 ℃ for 15 min. Raman spectra of the annealed films depict the formation of a small amount of SnO phase in the tetragonal Sn02 matrix, which is verified by x-ray diffraction. The average particle size is found to be about 20-30 nm, as calculated from x-ray peak broadening and SEM images. Various optical parameters such as optical band gap energy, refractive index, optical conductivity, carrier mobility, carrier concentration etc. are determined from the optical transmittance and reflectance data recorded in the wavelength range 250-2500 nm. The results are analyzed and compared with the data in the literature. 相似文献

The photoluminescence (PL) properties of high quality ZnO thin films grown on Si (1 0 0) substrates using spin coating technique are investigated as a function of temperature in the range 10-300 K. The PL spectra shows dominant donor bound excitonic emission along with free exciton related emission in the UV region. The corresponding activation energy of thermal quenching is found to be . The parameters that describe the temperature dependent red shift of the band-edge transition energy are evaluated using different models. The broadening of the PL peak due to increase in temperature is mainly attributed to the exciton-LO phonon coupling. 相似文献

InSb films on GaAs(001) substrates with and without GaAs buffer layer have been grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Rather than surface undulations, aligned ripples and pyramidal hillocks along the orthogonal 〈110〉 directions were observed on the surface of InSb films. Both the preferential growth and the termination of ripples were proved to be related to strain‐driven mass transport. A model was proposed to elucidate the formation of the hillocks, which are more efficient to relax strain than ripples. Due to the strain relaxation through hillocks with small bases predominantly, the surfaces of the InSb films grown without a GaAs buffer layer are smoother than those of films grown with a GaAs buffer layer.

The effect of a bismuth sublayer with an effective thickness of 0.5 to 4 nm on the structure of C60 fullerene films grown on amorphous substrates (silicon covered with a natural oxide layer; glass) using the quasi-closed-volume method is studied. An x-ray diffraction study of fullerene films showed that the intensity ratio between the (220) and (111) peaks depends nonmonotonically on the sublayer thickness. In the bismuth sublayer thickness range 0.5–2.0 nm, fullerene films are found to exhibit a growth texture with the 〈110〉 axis; the average crystallite size was ~20 µm. The quality of the texture can be improved by varying the fullerene growth temperature. 相似文献

Spatially resolved X-ray diffraction (SRXRD) is used for micro-imaging of strain in GaAs:Si layers grown by liquid phase epitaxial
lateral overgrowth (ELO) on SiO2-masked GaAs substrates. We show that laterally overgrown parts of the layers (wings) are tilted towards the underlying mask.
By SRXRD mapping local wing tilt is easily distinguished from macroscopic sample curvature. The direction of the tilt and
distribution of tilt magnitude across the width of each layer can also be readily determined. This allows measuring of the
shape of the lattice planes in individual ELO stripes. Downward wing tilt disappears completely when the mask is removed by
selective etching. Then residual strain in ELO layers is exposed. In particular, upward tilt is found in free-standing ELO
wings. Numerical simulations show that this phenomenon is caused by different concentrations of silicon dopant in vertically
and laterally grown parts of the layer.

The effect of the spatial structure of an interface in multilayer metallic films on the spectrum of x-ray specular scattering
is studied. Two types of interface structural defects are considered. One type is steps resulting in a variable layer thickness,
and the other is the mixing of unlike metal atoms during epitaxial growth. These defects are shown to have different effects
on the specular-scattering spectra. The mixing significantly decreases the Bragg-peak height, especially the height of higher
order peaks. The interface roughness results in broadening of the Bragg peaks and in the disappearance of intermediate peaks
between them. 相似文献

We use a seeded supersonic molecular beam to control the kinetic energy of pentacene (C22H14) during deposition and growth on Ag(111). Highly ordered thin films are grown at low substrate temperatures (approximately 200 K) at kinetic energies of a few electron volts, as shown by low energy He diffraction and x-ray reflectivity spectra. In contrast, deposition of thermal molecules yields only amorphous films. Growth at room or higher temperature substrates yields films of poorer quality irrespective of the depositing beam energy. We find that after the first wetting layer is completed, a new ordered phase is formed, whose in-plane lattice spacings match one of the bulk crystal planes. The high quality of the films can be interpreted as the result of local annealing induced by the impact of the impinging high-energy molecules. 相似文献
