Si3N4的晶体化和ZrN/Si3N4纳米多层膜的超硬效应

研究了Si₃N₄层在ZrN/Si₃N₄纳米多层膜中的晶化现象及其对多层膜微结构与力学性能的影响. 一系列不同Si₃N₄层厚度的ZrN/Si₃N₄纳米多层膜通过反应磁控溅射法制备. 利用X射线衍射仪、高分辨透射电子显微镜和微力学探针表征了多层膜的微结构和力学性能. 结果表明，由于受到ZrN调制层晶体结构的模板作用，溅射条件下以非晶态存在的Si₃N₄层在其厚度小于0.9 nm时被强制晶化为NaCl结构的赝晶体，ZrN/Si₃N₄纳米多层膜形成共格外延生长的柱状晶，并相应地产生硬度升高的超硬效应. Si₃N₄随层厚的进一步增加又转变为非晶态，多层膜的共格生长结构因而受到破坏，其硬度也随之降低.

杂质对溶胶-凝胶SiO2薄膜激光损伤的影响

 采用溶胶-凝胶法制备了含有吸收性杂质和非吸收性杂质的SiO₂增透膜,采用波长为1 064 nm的激光对其进行了小光斑激光预处理,对比研究了预处理前后的激光损伤差异,研究表明：激光预处理对于洁净的SiO₂薄膜影响不大;含10 μm SiO₂颗粒杂质的样品微透镜效应很明显,容易成为损伤起始的种子,激光预处理后情况有所改善;含有CeO₂颗粒杂质的样品表现出了很强的吸收性质,损伤阈值降低到不足洁净样品的一半。所有样品激光预处理后损伤形貌未发生变化,透光率峰值均有约50 nm的蓝移。

关于热生长SiO2薄膜厚度的测量

在半导体硅器件的研究工作中,需要准确地测量和控制SiO₂薄膜的厚度。由于干涉原理,SiO₂薄膜在白光照射下呈现颜色。但薄膜厚度与颜色相应的单色光的波长并不成简单的函数关系。本文叙述了用干涉显微镜测量热生长SiO₂薄膜厚度的方法。由测量结果得到SiO₂薄膜的折射率以及SiO₂和硅界面及空气和硅界面反射相移之差。并且测量了一组标准样品的薄膜厚度,列出了薄膜厚度与干涉颜色的对应关系。所得结果与从Rollet数据所推算的结果大致符合。样品厚度还包括了Rollet数据中所未包括的范围(3300—4200?)。

Rigorous reflectance performance analysis of Si3N4 self-suspended subwavelength gratings

In this paper, we make an investigation into the reflectance performance of the Si₃N₄ self-suspended subwavelength grating (SSG) via changing several parameters including the incident wavelength, the grating period, the grating thickness and the grating filling ratio. For TM polarization of incidence, numerical results by the rigorous coupled-wave method reveal that the reflectance spectrum of the Si₃N₄ SSG has a narrow linewidth (less than 1 nm), high peak reflectance (100%), and low side bands (less than 0.5%) simultaneously in the optical telecommunication wavelength region. By using a micro-electromechanical-systems actuator, it is believed that the Si₃N₄ SSG should serve as tunable optical filters in optical telecommunication systems.     

Growth and magnetism of Ni nanoparticles in Ni/Al2O3/Si or Si3N4 multilayers

We report on the fabrication of Ni/Al₂O₃/Si and textured Ni/Al₂O₃/Si₃N₄ multilayers containing Ni nanoparticles that exhibit significantly improved results. The secondary phases arising from thermal reaction between Ni and Si can be remarkably suppressed with increasing layers of Al₂O₃ and deposition of Ni/Al₂O₃ multilayers on Si₃N₄ substrates. Atomic force microscopy shows the formation of large as well as nanoclusters of Ni when grown on Si, whereas textured Ni nanoparticles are formed on Si₃N₄ substrates. The magnetization measurements on Ni/Al₂O₃/Si containing a single buffer layer of Al₂O₃ shows higher coercivity field with magnetic nanowire-like behavior, whereas with several Al₂O₃ alternate layers almost a superparamagnetic-like behavior is observed. However, significantly improved magnetic hysteresis was observed in textured Ni/Al₂O₃/Si₃N₄ multilayers due to preferred alignment of Ni nanocrystallites.     

无杂质空位扩散法造成InGaAsP/InP多量子阱结构带隙蓝移规律的研究

采用光荧光谱(PL)和光调制反射谱(PR)的方法,研究了由Si₃N₄、SiO₂电介质盖层引起的无杂质空位(IFVD)诱导的InGaAsP四元化合物半导体多量子阱(MQWs)结构的带隙蓝移。实验中Si₃N₄、SiO₂作为电介质盖层,用来产生空位,再经过快速热退火处理(RTA)。实验结果表明:多量子阱结构带隙蓝移和退火温度、复合盖层的组合有关。带隙蓝移随退火温度的升高而加大。InP、Si₃N₄复合盖层产生的带隙蓝移量大于InP、SiO₂复合盖层。而InGaAs、SiO₂复合盖层产生的带隙蓝移量则大于InGaAs、Si₃N₄复合盖层。同时,光调制反射谱的测试结果与光荧光测试的结果基本一致,因此,PR谱是用于测试带隙变化的另一种方法。     

三水合醋酸钠纳米成核剂的性能研究

三水合醋酸钠是一种具有较高的储能密度和热导率的储热相变材料,但是在凝固过程中的过冷和相分离现象限制了它的应用,需要寻求有效的成核剂和增稠剂来克服过冷和相分离的问题。本文实验分析了几种纳米材料（AIN、Si₃N₄、ZrB₂、SiO₂、BC₄、SiB₆）的成核效果,结果表明质量分数5%或4%的Si₃N₄、10%ZrB₂、5%AlN在自然分散下就能够消除三水合醋酸钠过冷度,质量分数2%的SiO₂在熔化的三水合醋酸钠中经磁力搅拌和超声分散后能够消除其过冷度。结合纳米材料的粒度分析结果,表明粒度分布在几十纳米到300纳米左右的纳米材料有较好的成核效果。     

Dielectrics for passivation of planar InP/InGaAs diodes

We have investigated dielectrics for passivating planar InP or InGaAs photodiodes: thermally evaporated Al₂O₃ and SiO, sputtered Si₃N₄ and SiO₂ and also SiO₂ using chemical vapour deposition. The measured bulk and field-effect properties of all dielectrics excluding sputtered SiO₂ were suitable for this application. In planar InGaAs diodes with Cd diffused or Mg implanted p⁺-region a disordered dielectric/semiconductor surface led to high reverse current densities above 1 mA/cm². In InP diodes with p⁺-diffusion and dielectrics exhibiting positive flatband voltages, e.g. Si₃N₄ and Al₂O₃, reverse current densities of 10 μA/cm² were measured probably caused by a slight inversion of the semiconductor surface. With a SiO or CVD-SiO₂ passivating layer on n-InP lowest leakage current densities (10 nA/cm²) were achieved. Very low dark-current planar photodiodes InP/InGaAsP/InGaAs have been fabricated using SiO passivation (30 nA/cm²).     

InGaAs/Si3N4 interface obtained in ultrahigh vacuum multipolar plasma: In-situ control by ellipsometry and electrical characterization

A multipolar plasma passivation scheme controlled by in-situ ellipsometry has been developed to produce a high electrical quality InGaAs/Si₃N₄ interface. We have demonstrated the possibility to remove all native oxides at the InGaAs surface by heating the sample at 240°C, then using the action of a multipolar H₂ plasma at 185°C, without optical degradation of the surface. The passivation by a native nitride layer is then performed using a N₂ plasma, and Si₃N₄ is deposited. The treatment induces a reduction of the density of interface states N_ss(E), and also a change of the nature of these interface states as shown by a reduction in the capture cross section σ_n(E).     

2018年2期电子期刊

光诱导功能退化是胶体量子点在应用中面临的主要挑战之一,本文针对这一问题研究了使用磁控溅射沉积SiO₂薄膜形成钝化层来提高CdSe/ZnS量子点发光稳定性的方法。首先,通过三正辛基膦辅助连续离子层吸附反应方法合成了615 nm发光的红色CdSe/ZnS量子点。然后将量子点旋涂在SiO₂/Si基片上,再通过磁控溅射方法在量子点上沉积了厚度为20 nm的SiO₂薄膜作为钝化层。使用连续波激光光源分别在空气气氛和真空条件下照射样品,研究了经过不同照射时间后钝化和未钝化量子点的稳态光致发光光谱。结果表明,随着照射时间的延长,没有SiO₂钝化的量子点的PL强度显著降低、PL峰值发生蓝移、FWHM不断增大。对比研究发现,由于SiO₂薄膜能够阻挡空气中的水和氧,减缓了量子点表面的光诱导氧化现象,因此显著提高了CdSe/ZnS量子点的稳定性。     

Analytical electron microscopy of a reaction-bonded Si3N4-based ceramic containing oxide additions

The microstructure of a silicon nitride (Si₃N₄)-based ceramic, prepared by a process combining direct nitridation and reactive liquid phase sintering of silicon/ceramic oxide powder compacts, has been characterised using analytical transmission electron microscopy. The presence of the reactive liquid phase, promoted by the addition of oxides from the CaO-Al₂O₃-SiO₂ ternary system, resulted in an as-fired microstructure containing a mixture of crystalline phases based on -Si₃N₄, β-Si₃N₄ and Si₂ N₂O, and distinct amorphous regions rich in Si, Al and Ca. X-ray microanalysis revealed the calcium to be wholly partitioned to the glassy phase, while significant concentrations of aluminium were detected in both β-Si₃N₄ and Si₂N₂O. The observed compositions of these phases, together with measured lattice parameters systematically in excess of those of the pure compounds, imply that they are in fact β- and O-sialons respectively. Semi-quantitative energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, using an ultra-thin window detector, is demonstrated to be capable of distinguishing clearly between these phases according to their oxygen content and of determining the aluminium content of both phases to within ± 1 equ.%, even at concentration levels of <5 equ.%.     

电荷俘获存储器的过擦现象

基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理平面波超软赝势方法和VASP软件对电荷俘获存储器过擦现象进行了分析研究.通过形成能的计算,确定了含有氮空位缺陷的Si3N4和含有间隙氧缺陷的Hf O2作为研究的对象;俘获能的计算结果表明两种体系对电子的俘获能力比对空穴的大,因而对两体系擦写载流子确定为电子.分别计算了Hf O2和Si3N4擦写前后的能量、擦写前后电荷分布变化、吸附能和态密度,以说明过擦的微观机理.对能量和擦写电荷变化的研究,表明Si3N4相比于Hf O2,其可靠性较差,且Si3N4作为俘获层,在一个擦写周期后,晶胞中电子出现减少现象;界面吸附能的研究表明,Si3N4相比于Hf O2在缺陷处更容易与氧进行电子交换;最后,通过对态密度的分析表明Si3N4和Hf O2在对应的缺陷中均有缺陷能级俘获电子,前者为浅能级俘获,后者为深能级俘获.综上分析表明,Si3N4在氮空位的作用下,缺陷附近原子对电子的局域作用变弱,使得Si3N4作为俘获层时,材料本身的电子被擦出,使得擦操作时的平带偏移电压增大,导致存储器发生过擦.本文的研究结果揭示了过擦的本质,对提高电荷俘获存储器的可靠性以及存储特性有着重要的指导意义.     

Laser irradiation of AISI 316L stainless steel coated with Si3N4 and Ti

AISI 316L stainless steel was laser surface treated with different compositions of Si₃N₄ and Ti under various laser-processing parameters to improve its surface hardness through reinforcement of Ti-based silicides. The laser-treated regions exhibited improved surface hardness (250–1000 HV), variations in the surface morphology (smooth and bowl like) and presence of cracks and pores depending upon the Si₃N₄–Ti composition and laser-processing parameters. The study shows that when the Si₃N₄–Ti composition is 75–25 wt% and laser parameters are 1.5 kW laser power and 1.0 m min⁻¹ scan speed, a laser-treated region with high hardness of about 800 HV and smooth surface morphology as well as free from pores and cracks is observed. The X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and Energy-Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) analyses show that the laser surface-treated region has reinforced phase of Ti₅Si₃ and retained austenitic structure. The reinforced phase gives rise to very high hardness (or wear resistance) and also a corrosion resistance.
