Effect of oxygen on regulation of properties of moderately boron-doped diamond films

Regulation of oxygen on properties of moderately boron-doped diamond films is fully investigated. Results show that, with adding a small amount of oxygen (oxygen-to-carbon ratio < 5.0%), the crystal quality of diamond is improved, and a suppression effect of residual nitrogen is observed. With increasing ratio of O/C from 2.5% to 20.0%, the hole concentration is firstly increased then reduced. This change of hole concentration is also explained. Moreover, the results of Hall effect measurement with temperatures from 300 K to 825 K show that, with adding a small amount of oxygen, boron and oxygen complex structures (especially B₃O and B₄O) are formed and exhibit as shallow donor in diamond, which results in increase of donor concentration. With further increase of ratio of O/C, the inhibitory behaviors of oxygen on boron leads to decrease of acceptor concentration (the optical emission spectroscopy has shown that it is decreased with ratio of O/C more than 10.0%). This work demonstrates that oxygen-doping induced increasement of the crystalline and surface quality could be restored by the co-doping with oxygen. The technique could achieve boron-doped diamond films with both high quality and acceptable hole concentration, which is applicable to electronic level of usage.     

金属有机源化学气相沉积法生长氧化锌薄膜中氢气的作用及其机理

本文重点探讨了金属有机源化学气相沉积生长ZnO薄膜中氢气的作用与机理.研究表明氢气对ZnO薄膜的结构与性质具有重要的影响.当采用叔丁醇为氧源时,氢气对ZnO薄膜的晶体质量,表面结构和发光性质主要产生负面的影响,同时发现氢气的加入有助于抑制碳的沾污.而当采用笑气为氧源时,测量显示表面变光滑,晶体质量得到提高,发光强度也得到提升.氢气在笑气作为氧源生长ZnO的过程中基本起到了正面的作用.论文最后从氢气降低生长表面能量,提高表面原子迁移能力但存在表面腐蚀作用的方向以上结果给予了较好的解释.研究显示MOCVD生长高质量ZnO薄膜中氢气的优化具有特别重要的意义.     

离子注入对ZnTe:O中间带光伏材料的微观结构及光学特性的影响

II-VI和III-V族高失配合金半导体是新型高效中间带太阳电池的优选材料体系,但中间带的形成及其能带调控等关键问题仍未得到有效解决.采用氧离子注入方式,在非平衡条件下对碲化锌(Zn Te)单晶材料实现了等电子掺杂,深入研究了离子注入对Zn Te:O材料的微观结构和光学特性的影响.研究表明:注入合适浓度的氧离子(2.5×1018cm-3)将会形成晶格应变,并诱导1.80 e V(导带下0.45 e V)中间带的产生;而较高浓度(2.5×1020cm-3)的氧离子会导致Zn Te注入层表面非晶化,并增强与锌空位相关的深能级(～1.6 e V)发光.时间分辨光致发光结果显示,离子注入诱导形成的中间带主要是和氧等电子陷阱束缚的局域激子发光有关,载流子衰减寿命较长(129 ps).因此,需要降低晶格紊乱度和合金无序,实现电子局域态向扩展态的转变,从而有效调控中间带能带结构.

MOCVD生长中载气H2对N掺杂ZnO性质的影响

采用MOCVD方法在石英衬底上生长ZnO。实验使用二乙基锌(DEZn)为锌源,N2O作为氧和氮源,H2作为载气。采用PL和Raman光谱方法对ZnO样品进行表征,结果表明H2的加入大幅度减少薄膜中碳的掺入,明显改善了薄膜的光学质量。采用N2O离化技术,可以进一步提高其带边峰的强度,抑制带内发光。XRD测量表明,生长的ZnO薄膜具有c轴择优取向。目前生长高质量N掺杂的p型ZnO薄膜是很困难的,而H2作为载气的加入明显改善了ZnO薄膜的光学性质,在生长过程中加入H2将为获得高质量N掺杂的p型ZnO薄膜提供一种途径。

Significant suppression of residual nitrogen incorporation in diamond film with a novel susceptor geometry employed in MPCVD

This work proposed to change the structure of the sample susceptor of the microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) reaction chamber, that is, to introduce a small hole in the center of the susceptor to study its suppression effect on the incorporation of residual nitrogen in the MPCVD diamond film. By using COMSOL multiphysics software simulation, the plasma characteristics and the concentration of chemical reactants in the cylindrical cavity of MPCVD system were studied, including electric field intensity, electron number density, electron temperature, the concentrations of atomic hydrogen, methyl, and nitrogenous substances, etc. After introducing a small hole in the center of the molybdenum support susceptor, we found that no significant changes were found in the center area of the plasma, but the electron state in the plasma changed greatly on the surface above the susceptor. The electron number density was reduced by about 40%, while the electron temperature was reduced by about 0.02 eV, and the concentration of atomic nitrogen was decreased by about an order of magnitude. Moreover, we found that if a specific lower microwave input power is used, and a susceptor structure without the small hole is introduced, the change results similar to those in the surface area of the susceptor will be obtained, but the spatial distribution of electromagnetic field and reactant concentration will be changed.

InN薄膜的氧化特性研究

研究了InN薄膜在不同氧气氛中的氧化特性. 研究表明，在400 ℃以下，InN薄膜很难被氧化，而金属In很容易被氧化. 因此富In的InN薄膜的氧化在400 ℃以下主要是金属In的氧化，在400 ℃以上为金属In和InN的同时被氧化. 在400 ℃以上的氧化过程中，InN的表观氧化速率非常慢，这可能和InN的高温分解有关. InN的湿氧和干氧氧化结果说明湿氧氧化速率比干氧快. 关键词： InN 氧化铟 氧化 X射线衍射
