反应磁控溅射制备AZO薄膜相结构的演化及机理研究

在室温下,利用直流反应磁控溅射技术在不同的氧气流量下沉积ZnO∶ Al (AZO)薄膜.采用XRD、SEM和TEM技术分析薄膜相成分、表面截面形貌及微观结构.结果表明:氧气流量为2.5 sccm时,沉积形成的薄膜为不透明具有金属导电性能的AZO/Zn( AZO)双层复合膜结构;氧气流量为3.5 sccm时,沉积形成了透明导电的AZO薄膜;氧气流量为5.0 sccm时,形成了透明不导电且含有纳米Al2O3颗粒的AZO薄膜;此外,AZO薄膜在400℃退火后,薄膜晶粒长大和(002)晶面方向择优生长更加明显以及高氧气流量沉积的AZO薄膜中的纳米Al2O3颗粒消失.     

射频磁控溅射氧气流量对制备的Ga2O3∶Cr薄膜光致发光性能的影响

在不同氧气流量下,采用双靶射频磁控共溅射的方法在蓝宝石(α-Al₂O₃)基底上制备得到系列掺Cr的Ga₂O₃(Ga₂O₃∶Cr)薄膜,详细研究了薄膜在900 ℃退火前后的结构和光学性能。结果表明,未退火的Ga₂O₃∶Cr薄膜为非晶结构,其发光主要位于蓝绿波段。经900 ℃退火后,薄膜的结构由非晶变为多晶,且在近红外波段观测到了来源于Cr³⁺掺杂的发光。退火后的薄膜结晶质量和近红外发光均与氧气流量密切相关,而其光学带隙不受氧气流量的影响。在所研究的氧气流量范围,4 mL/min氧气流量下薄膜的近红外发光强度最强,这与此条件下薄膜结晶质量较好以及Cr³⁺替代Ga³⁺的数量较多有关。以上研究成果可为制备高质量Ga₂O₃∶Cr薄膜提供参考。     

退火温度对TiO2薄膜结构、组分和光学性能的影响

原子层沉积与磁控溅射法制备TiO2薄膜性能对比研究

分别采用原子层沉积(ALD)和磁控溅射法(MS)在Si和石英衬底上制备TiO2薄膜,并进行退火处理.利用X射线衍射仪(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、原子力显微镜(AFM)和紫外分光光度计对这两种方法制备薄膜的晶型结构、表面形貌和光学特性进行分析对比.结果显示,对于沉积态TiO2薄膜,ALD-TiO2和MS-TiO2未能检测到TiO2衍射峰.ALD-TiO2为颗粒膜,其表面粗糙,颗粒尺寸大;MS-TiO2薄膜表面平整.经退火后,两种方法制备的TiO2薄膜能检测到锐钛矿A(101)衍射峰,但结晶质量不高.受薄膜表面形貌和晶型结构等因素影响,退火前后ALD-TiO2透过率与MS-TiO2透过率变化不一致.对于沉积态和退火态薄膜的禁带宽度,ALD-TiO2分别为3.8eV和3.7 eV,吸收边带发生红移,MS-TiO2分别为3.74 eV和3.84 eV,吸收边带发生蓝移.

退火温度对二氧化钛纳米管阵列亲水性的影响

采用电化学阳极氧化法,以含有0.25wt; NH4 F和2 mL H2 O的乙二醇溶液作为电解液制备了TiO2纳米管阵列,然后通过不同温度退火比较其形貌、结构、元素组成和亲水性能。实验表明,600℃以下温度退火基本不会引起TiO2纳米管阵列的形貌改变,但是600℃退火会使得部分TiO2纳米管坍塌。随着退火温度的升高,TiO2由无定型结构向晶体结构转变,同时接触角减小,亲水性变好。另一方面,F元素也会影响TiO2纳米管阵列的亲水性能,F元素含量越少,亲水性越好。     

Influence of thermoannealing on crystallinity and optical properties of Sb2S3 thin films

Sb₂S₃ thin films are obtained by evaporating of Sb₂S₃ powder onto glass substrates maintained at room temperature under pressure of 2×10^‐5 torr. The composition of the thin films was determined by energy dispersive analysis of X‐ray (EDAX). The effect of thermal annealing in vacuum on the structural properties was studied using X‐ray diffraction (XRD) technique and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The as‐deposition films were amorphous, while the annealed films have an orthorhombic polycrystalline structure. The optical constants of as‐deposited and annealed Sb₂S₃ thin films were obtained from the analysis of the experimental recorded transmission spectral data over the wavelength range 400‐1400 nm. The transmittance analysis allowed the determination of refractive index as function of wavelength. It was found that the refractive dispersion data obeyed the single oscillator model, from which the dispersion parameters (oscillator energy, E₀, dispersion energy, E_d) were determined. The static refractive index n(0), static dielectric constant, ε_∞, and optical band gap energy, E_g, were also calculated using the values of dispersion parameters.

Effect of Thermal Annealing on Structural Properties,Morphologies and Electrical Properties of TiO2 Thin Films Grown by MOCVD

TiO₂ thin films, were deposited on Si(100) and Si(111) substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition at 500 °C, and have been annealed for 2 min, 30 min and 10 hours at the temperature from 600 °C to 900 °C, in oxygen and air flow, respectively. XRD and atomic force microscopy characterized the structural properties and surface morphologies of the films. As‐deposited films show anatase polycrystalline structure with a surface morphology of regular rectangled grains with distinct boundaries. Rutile phase formed for films annealed above 600 °C, and pure rutile polycrystalline films with (110) orientation can be obtained after annealing under adequate conditions. Rutile annealed films exhibit a surface morphology of equiaxed grains without distinct boundaries. The effects of substrate orientation, annealing time and atmosphere on the structure and surface morphology of films have also been studied. Capacitance‐Voltage measurements have been performed for films deposited on Si(100) before and after annealing. The dielectric properties of TiO₂ films were greatly improved by thermal annealing above 600 °C in oxygen.

溶胶-凝胶法制备高Mg含量Zn1-x MgxO薄膜

采用溶胶-凝胶法在石英玻璃基板上制备了ZB1-xMgxO薄膜,研究退火温度对高Mg含量Zn0.5Mg0.5O薄膜的相组成、相偏析及紫外-可见透过光谱中吸收边移动的影响,当退火温度≤500℃时,Zn0.5Mg0.5O薄膜未发生相偏析现象,且400℃退火处理制备的Zn0.5Mg0.5O薄膜的紫外-可见透过光谱中吸收边蓝移最大.因此,对于高Mg含量Zn0.5Mg0.5O薄膜,退火温度是影响Mg2+在ZnO中固溶度的关键因素,且400℃是其理想的退火温度.在此条件下研究了不同Mg含量对Zn1-xMgO(x=0～0.8)薄膜带隙调节的影响,随着Mg含量的增加,其紫外-可见透过光谱中紫外光区吸收边呈现规律性蓝移,光学带隙值Eg从纯ZnO的3.3 eV调节至4.2 eV.     

Atmospheric aging and thermal annealing effects in a-C:H thin films

Atmospheric aging and thermal annealing effects have been studied in hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:H) thin films deposited using a dc saddle field glow discharge technique with different ion energies (85–225 eV) during deposition. The a-C:H films grown with low ion energies showed aging effects when they were exposed to the ambient atmosphere. Infrared (IR) absorption due to O–H and C=O vibration modes increased while the IR absorption due to C–H vibrations decreased with aging. The absence of absorption due to O–D vibrations in deuterated films indicates that the films reacted with water rather than oxygen when exposed to the atmosphere. The C–H and O–H bond concentrations decreased when the a-C:H films which had been exposed to the atmosphere for a one month period were thermally annealed. The a-C:H films grown with high ion energies exhibited neither atmospheric aging nor thermal annealing effects.     

氩气退火时间对Fe(Se,Te)薄膜的性能影响研究

作为一种铁基超导薄膜,Fe(Se,Te)薄膜具有晶体结构简单、所包含的元素较少、易于合成的特点,不仅有利于超导机理研究而且有着潜在的技术应用价值。本文通过磁控溅射在温度为320 ℃的CaF₂单晶衬底上制备了Fe(Se,Te)薄膜,并在氩气氛围下进行了退火处理。研究了退火时间对Fe(Se,Te)薄膜的晶体结构、微观形貌、成分组成以及电输运特性的影响。结果表明:Fe(Se,Te)薄膜的结晶性较好,退火有助于消除薄膜样品中的FeSe相,薄膜的晶格常数c对退火不敏感,退火后薄膜晶粒尺寸变大;Fe(Se,Te)薄膜成分与靶材的名义组分存在一定的偏差,退火时间越长,Fe(Se,Te)薄膜表面的颗粒越密集;Fe(Se,Te)薄膜的电阻随温度升高而减小,呈现出半导体特性,退火3 h后电阻明显增大。     

Deposition of thick silica-titania sol-gel films on Si substrates

A process for production of thick (>10 μm) titania-doped silica films on Si substrates by repetitive spin-coating of sol-gel material and rapid thermal annealing for 10 s in the range 800–1200°C is described. The dependence of overall thickness and etch rate in buffered HF on annealing temperature is described, and it is shown that films annealed at low (< 1175°C) temperatures have a relatively large thickness and etch rate. However, films having the properties of fully densified material (minimum thickness and etch rate) can be produced by subsequent consolidation. The film stress characteristics are similar to those phosphosilicate glass formed by the same process: films annealed below a critical temperature (< 1075°C) are under tensile stress at the annealing temperature, and crack before a thick film can be built up. Refractive index data are given; these show that only fully consolidated films have the refractive index expected from their SiO₂ and TiO₂ compositions. Finally, discrepancies in results for thickness of unconsolidated single-layer and multilayer films are explained using a simple model that accounts for the effect of cumulative densification.     

Microstructural and optical properties of sol-gel silica-titania waveguides

Two micron silica-titania coatings made by single step sol-gel dip-coating were prepared as planar waveguides. Acid catalyzed solutions of methyltriethoxysilane (MTES) mixed with tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and tetrabutoxytitanate were used as precursors. Purely inorganic and crackfree silica-titania coatings were obtained after annealing at 500°C. The waveguides had propagation losses, 0.3 dB/cm, of the same order as thin silica-titania films prepared without MTES. Films were studied by infrared spectroscopy. Rutherford backscattering spectrometry, nuclear reactions analysis and elastic recoil detection analysis. The waveguide structural composition after annealing at 500°C was found to be similar to MTES and TEOS derived silica-titania coatings. The waveguides were characterized by measuring refractive index, porosity and shrinkage, with thermal treatment. The MTES derived films showed a higher shrinkage during annealing but the same refractive index and porosity as the TEOS derived waveguides.
