高电荷态离子$lt;sup$gt;126$lt;/sup$gt;Xe$lt;sup$gt;$lt;i$gt;q$lt;/i$gt;+$lt;/sup$gt;引起GaN表面形貌变化研究

用不同电荷态的¹²⁶Xe^q+离子（9≤q≤30）在室温下轰击GaN晶体表面,经原子力显微镜分析表明,当q>18,辐照区域由隆起转为显著的刻蚀.被轰击后的GaN晶体表面形貌主要取决于入射离子的电荷态.同时,样品表面形貌还与入射离子的剂量和入射角有关;在实验参数范围,与入射离子的初动能没有明显关系（180 keV≤E_k≤600 keV）.当入射离子的电荷态q=18,与样品表面法线成60°角倾斜入射和垂直表面入射时,样品的表面几乎没有变化,只是倾斜入射后有很微小的隆起;当q＜18时,样品表面膨胀隆起,粗糙度增强,倾斜入射时表面隆起比垂直入射时更明显,而且都有清晰的峰状分界区;当q＞18时,样品表面被蚀刻呈凹陷状,有明显的齿状刻痕,且侵蚀深度与离子剂量近似呈线性关系,倾斜入射时的刻蚀深度大于垂直入射时的刻蚀深度. 关键词： 高电荷态离子 GaN晶体 原子力显微镜 表面形貌     

Surface Disorder of GaN Irradiated by Highly Charged Arq+-Ions

The surface damage to gallium nitride films irradiated by Ar^q＋ （6≤q≤16） ions at room temperature is studied by the atomic force microscopy. It is found that when charge state exceeds a threshold value, significant swelling was turned into obvious erosion in the irradiated region. The surface change of the irradiated region strongly depends on the charge state and ion fluence. On the other hand, surface change is less dependent on the kinetic energy nearly in the present experimental range （120 keV≤Ek≤220 keV）. For q≤14, surface of the irradiated region is covered with an amorphous layer, rough and bulgy. A step-up appears between the irradiated and un-irradiated region. Moreover, the step height and the surface roughness are functions of the ion dose and charge state, and increase with the increase of dose and charge state. Especially at and near boundary, a sharp bump like ridges in irradiated areas is observed, and there appear characteristic grooves in un-irradiated areas. For q=16, surface of the irradiated region was etched and erased.     

Effects of Different Plasma Energy Treatments on n-Type Al0.4Ga0.6N Material

El3ctronic properties, surface chemistry and surface morphology of plasma-treated n-Al0.4Ga0.6N material are studied by electrical contact measurements, atomic force microscopy and x-ray photoemission spectroscopy. Although excessive etching can cause the surface roughness to significantly increase, the nitrogen vacancies VN produced by the excessive etching can be compensated for by the negative effects of the rougher surface. Thus, VN produced by excessive etching plays a key role in Ohmic contact of high-A1 content AIGaN and it can reduce Ohmic contact resistance. The effect of rapid thermal annealing on the performance of n-Al0.4Ga0.6N can significantly reduce the etching damage caused by excessive etching.     

Nanoscale Thermal Response in ZnO Varistors by Atomic Force Microscopy

We report the application of customer-built scanning thermal microscopy （SThM） based on a commercial atomic force microscope to investigate local thermal inhomogeneity of ZnO varistors. The so-called 3ω method, generally used for measuring macroscale thermal conductivity, is set up and integrated with an atomic force microscope to probe the nanoseale thermal property. Remarkably, thermal contrasts of ZnO varistors are firstly imaged by the SThM, indicating the uniform distribution of spinel phases at triple points. The frequency-dependent thermal signal of ZnO varistors is also studied to present quantitative evaluation of local thermal conductivity of the sample.
