Transition between amorphous and crystalline phases of SiC deposited on Si substrate using H3SiCH3

This paper presents a study of the transition between amorphous and crystalline phases of SiC films deposited on Si(1 0 0) substrate using H₃SiCH₃ as a single precursor by a conventional low-pressure chemical vapor deposition method in a hot-wall reactor. The microstructure of SiC, characterized by X-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, is found to vary with substrate temperature and H₃SiCH₃ pressure. The grain size decreases with increasing MS pressure at a given temperature and also decreases with reducing temperature at a given MS pressure. The deposition rates are exponentially dependent on the substrate temperature with the activation energy of around 2.6 eV. The hydrogen compositional concentration in the deposited SiC films, determined by secondary ion mass spectrometry depth profiling, is only 2.9% in the nanocrystalline SiC but more than 10% in the amorphous SiC, decreasing greatly with increasing deposition temperature. No hydride bonds are detected by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy measurements. The chemical order of the deposited SiC films improves with increasing deposition temperature.     

Optical properties of ZnO nano fiber thin films grown by spray pyrolysis of zinc acetate precursor

Good homogeneous and stoichiometric ZnO nanofiber thin films have been deposited onto cleaned glass substrate by a simple spray pyrolysis technique under atmospheric pressure using zinc acetate precursor at temperature 200 °C. Films of various thicknesses have been obtained by varying the deposition time, while all other deposition parameters such as spray rate, carrier gas pressure and distance between spray nozzle to substrate were kept constant. Surface morphology and optical properties of the as deposited thin films have been studied by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) attached with an EDX and UV visible spectroscopy. From EDX data, atomic weight% of Zinc and Oxygen were found to be 49.22% and 49.62% respectively. The SEM micrograph of the film shows uniform deposition and scattered nano fiber around the nucleation centers. The optical band gap of the ZnO thin films was found to be in the range 3.3 to 3.4 eV and the band gap decreases with thickness of the film. Optical constants such as refractive index, extinction coefficient, real and imaginary parts of dielelectric constants were evaluated from reflectance and absorbance spectra.

Effect of deposition pressure on microstructure and properties of hydrogenated carbon nitride films prepared by DC-RF-PECVD

Hydrogenated carbon nitride (a-CN:H films) were deposited on n-type (1 0 0) silicon substrates making use of dual direct current radio frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (DC-RF-PECVD), at working pressure of 2–20 Pa, using a mixed gas of CH₄ and N₂ as the source gas. The growth rate, composition, bonding structure of the deposited films were characterized by means of XPS and FTIR, and the mechanical properties of the deposited films were investigated by nano-indentation test. It was found that the parameters for the DC-RF-PECVD process had significant effects on the growth rate, structure and properties of the deposited films. The growth rate of the deposited films increased at first with increasing deposition pressure, then saturated with further increase of the deposition pressure. The N/C ratio inside the deposited films increased with increasing working pressure except that it was as much as 0.50 at a working pressure of 5.0 Pa. The nano-hardness of the films decreased with increasing deposition pressure. CN radicals were remarkably formed in the deposited films at higher pressures, and their contents are related to the nitrogen concentrations in the deposited films.     

The role of the pressure in pulsed laser deposition of bioactive glass films

Effects of the Ar pressure on the morphology, structure, bonding configuration and deposition rate of the bioglass thin films were investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and crystal lattice monitor. Ar pressure has an influence on the quantity and shapes of the particles generated in the PLD process. The target bonding configuration is not correctly transferred to the films. This effect is attributed to the network rearrangement during the film growth, which is associated to special structure of glass and complex physical mechanisms of PLD. Deposition rate decreases as the pressure increases following a linear dependence.

Fabrication and characteristics of CeO2 films on Si(1 0 0) substrates by pulsed laser deposition

A detailed investigation about the dependence of film orientation on deposition temperature and ambient oxygen pressure has been carried out for CeO₂ films on Si(1 0 0) substrates using pulsed laser deposition. It has been found that the CeO₂ film orientation varies with increasing oxygen pressure at 750°C deposition temperature. In addition, the recovery of preferential orientation of CeO₂ films grown at 20 Pa ambient oxygen pressure with increasing deposition temperature has also been found for the first time. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements confirm that stoichiometric CeO₂ films can be grown at lower oxygen pressure (5×10⁻³ Pa). HRTEM result also indicates that the CeO₂ films grown at low oxygen pressure are of high crystallinity.     

Low-pressure chemical vapor deposition of TaCN films by pyrolysis of ethylamido-tantalum

Thin films of Tantalum nitride (TaN) were deposited from tetra-ethylamido-tantalum (Ta (NEt₂)₄) by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition. Good-quality step coverage is achieved below 400°C, because the deposition rate is determined by the reaction rates on the surface. The film resistivity increases, however, as the substrate temperature decreases. In order to obtain the low resistivity of films deposited at lower temperatures, we have increased the amount of injected H₂ gas during the deposition. The resistivity decreases by the increase in the H₂ gas flow rate, and it is shown that a large amount of H₂ gas injection during the deposition is an effective method for obtaining both low resistivity and high-quality step coverage. The residual carbon concentration in the film is measured to be >10%, on the other hand, the concentration of N less than 1%. The microstructural investigation using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) reveals that crystalline structure of the deposited film has an amorphous phase.
